This is a calendar in English of the coroners' rolls for c. 1265-1317 and 1378-1380, held respectively in The National Archives and Gonville and Caius College Cambridge. The introduction explains coroners' duties and court procedure before focusing on the work of the Bedfordshire coroners. Included are lists of the medieval coroners for Bedfordshire (1230-1478), Bedford (1240-1456), Dunstable (1228-1411) and the Bedfordshire liberties of the Abbot of St. Albans (1287-1326) and Eton College (1451). The rolls contain cases of murder, assaults and thefts and tragic accidents such as that of five-year-old Joan in 1274. Aside from crime, the rolls reveal the conditions of daily life at the poorer level of society, agriculture and the countryside.

For many Americans, the birth certificate is a mundane piece of paper, unearthed from deep storage when applying for a driver's license, verifying information for new employers, or claiming state and federal benefits. Yet as Donald Trump and his fellow 'birthers' reminded us when they claimed that Barack Obama wasn't an American citizen, it plays a central role in determining identity and citizenship. In this book, historian Susan J. Pearson traces the document's 200-year history to explain when, how, and why birth certificates came to matter so much in the United States.

In 1602 the German nation of the University of Orléans decided to separate the registration of new members from the texte des rapports in the Livres des procurateurs, 1444-1602 . The registres matricules that were subsequently used show that in the seventeenth century many young people from a great diversity of European countries found their way to Orléans. Apart from the genuine students, many were 'tourists', though considered by the authorities as 'étudiants universitaires'. Joining the German nation offered the newly enrolled the privilege of being part of a university community that had traditionally been favoured by the French kings with special privileges, such as royal protection in time of war and, more importantly, freedom of religion. A majority of these student-tourists came from the nobility or from urban patrician families.
