The Annals of Dunstable Priory are a valuable witness to thirteenth-century England. They record much of interest, from the day-to-day concerns of the Augustinian house that produced the text to the events of the Ninth Crusade. They commenced under the direction of the well-connected Prior Richard de Morins, who, amongst other important events of his age, attended the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, studied at the University of Paris, and undertook diplomatic missions for King John. Giving insights into many facets of medieval life, they perhaps most importantly offer detailed accounts of key events on an national and international stage, including the crisis of the Second Barons' War in the reign of Henry III, and the conquest of Wales under Edward I. Told with humour, outrage, and truthful detail, the Annals offer a lively and accessible account of an important and turbulent period of English history. This new translation makes them available to a wider audience for the first time.

Contains 'Tractatus de Dunstaple et de Houcton', edited by G. Herbert Fowler (Of the 10 surviving folios of the Tractatus of Dunstable, folios 1-5 deal with Dunstable Priory; and folios 6-10 with Houghton Regis, where the Priory's most important Bedfordshire lands lay). These documents duplicate some information in the Dunstable Annals and Cartulary (for the annals see the Rolls Series; for the cartulary see BHRS vol. 10). The documents cover the foundation, administration and property of the priory and its relations with Houghton Regis, Kensworth and Caddington, from which places land was taken to set up the priory and town. The Treatise of Houghton deals with the rights and services of the lords and tenants of the vill before and after its transfer to Dunstable Priory. The documents in this volume date to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

The introduction explains the method of taxation in the 13th century. By the 1290s, taxes were levied as a fixed proportion of the value of a person's goods: a ninth, a fifteenth, a thirtieth or other fraction, as ordered. The proportion in 1297 was a ninth. The rolls transcribed here contain a valuation of stock, crops and other goods, followed by their total value and the amount to be paid in tax. An account of the circumstances of the 1297 tax is given. There is an analysis of the returns for Bedfordshire, with tables, and a commentary on what was omitted from the assessment. The returns are translated into English and a glossary has been added to explain how Latin terms have been translated. There is also a translation of the collection of a fifteenth for Shillington in 1301.
