INTRODUCTION

Continuingthe publicationof the annual Recusant Rolls ofthe Exchequer, the present volume contains an abstract in English of the third and fourth rollsthe smallest in the Elizabethan series . The method of publication is precisely similar to that initiated in Recusant Roll No. 2 (volume lvii of the Catholic Record Society) and the analytical scheme there employed is again set forth below in the"Key to the Abstracts" , and also on a loosebook-mark All the various types of entry are here again represented , each in its own constant form, the purport ofwhichhas been explained in the Introduction to the former volume, in the section entitled "Classification ofentries" . The only noteworthy innovationis the inclusion , in the fourth roll, of "Ex-Sheriffs' Debts" , which frequently appear as formal entries in all subsequentrolls.³

A. General Statistics With the contents of the first four rolls now available to us, it will be useful and convenient to give a brief comparative view of their main data, as follows :

B. Progress ofland-sequestration per Exchequeraccountingyear.

The most harassing punishment inflicted on a convicted recusant was the seizureand retainment by the Crown, until conformityor death, of two-thirdsof his landed possessions An inquiry into the incidence ofthat penalty is therefore ofmajorhistorical interest and worthy of careful attention

In the above-mentioned volumes a project for research was suggested whereby such confiscations might be exactly enumerated However, an attempt to carry out this scheme with regard to the firstfour RecusantRolls later disclosed, inthefirstthree,the presence ofso erratica system ofenrollingnew land-seizures and discharges (especially the latter) that it became imperative, if accuratefigures were to be obtained, to group these items under their separateyears of origin, disregarding the date oftheirenrolment Itwasapparent that although each item bore the regnal date ofits origin the clerks ofthe Pipe Office were in no way bound to enter the first enrolment ofa seizureordischargein the roll ofthe correspondingdate. While the bulk ofsuch entries were found to be regularly inserted in the next two rolls,stray items occasionally showed an even longer delay.

The date of a land-seizure will be found in section E(b) of all first rental entries (see 'Key to theAbstracts') The date ofa land-discharge is shownin all references to the Memoranda Rolls cited at the foot of rental entries in annotations of discharge (cf. ibid., civ-cv) In land-seizures the dating is precise, giving the day, month and regnal year Inland-discharges, however, we are given only the Term and regnalyear of the MemorandaRoll referred towhich nevertheless establishes the Term withinwhichthe discharge itself occurred Forthe dated periodsofthe four Law Terms, cf. ibid , xxvii-viii

INTRODUCTION

For the purposes of the present work I have limited the searchto the first seven rolls, i.e. threeyearsbeyond the dateofrollno.4.

The new method of investigation here adopted has proved more laborious (butless devious) than that describedin theearlier volume, and has necessitated some notable alteration of the figures there published Its aim however is similar, and may be defined as follows, viz., to discover the number of new land-seizures made duringeach ofthe fourExchequer accounting years (Michaelmas to Michaelmas) covered by the first four Recusant Rolls, and, by subtracting the number of new land-discharges occurring in the same several periods, to ascertain the total number of recusants' lands held by the Queen on the final Michaelmas Day ofeachyear.

In this scheme the problem is simply one of determining the accounting year to whicha regnal date belongs, and, guidedbythe data in (a) and (b) below, the task is easy enough.

(a) The span ofthe accounting, or fiscal, year¹0 in the Exchequer at this period extendedfrom 30 September("the morrowof Michaelmas") to the following 29 September (Michaelmas Day), inclusively.

(

b) The regnal years of Elizabeth I began on 17 November and ended on the following 16 November, inclusively. 11 Thus, for example, a land-seizure dated "26 June, 37 Eliz" [1595] will belong to the accounting year "Mich 1594Mich. 1595" . One will likewise note that it is to this same accounting year thatall earlier items of this kind, back to 30 September, 36 Eliz. [1594], 12 and all later items forwardto 29 September, 37 Eliz. [1595], inclusively, must also be assigned.

The necessary starting-point for our calculations is provided in the first Recusant Roll

A detailed analysis of the latter indicates that on 30 September 1592 it inherited and re-enrolled precisely 266 recusants' properties which had accumulated on the Pipe Rolls since 1585 (when seizures of recusants' lands began), but that 6 of them had already been discharged. The first ofour four accounting years(Mich 1592-1593 ) therefore opens with 260 seized lands shown to be already in the Crown's possession By the timeofits closure on Michaelmas Day, 29 September1593, 114 new land-seizures had been added and only 2 new land-discharges grantedbringingthe total number of seized lands remaining in the Queen's hands, as at that date, up to 372

Wemayconclude by brieflynotingthe position at the end ofthe three remaining accounting years, as follows:

10 Forwhich accounts were annually made up and submittedfor audit 11 Useful information on the subject of regnal years is given in Almanacks for students ofEnglish HistorybyE.A.Fry, 107-132 (1915), andHandbook ofdates for students of EnglishHistory by C. R. Cheney, 12-31 (1945). 12 Including, therefore , thewholeofMichaelmas Term, 9 October-28 November , 1594. This was normally referredto in Exchequer records as 'Michaelmas Term, 36Eliz. '(occasionallydated 36-37 Eliz.')withinwhich(on 17 November) the Queen's 37thregnal yearbegan.

29 Sept. 1594 after 55 new seizures & 19 discharges , the total rises to 408

29 Sept. 1595 after 36 new seizures & 16 discharges , the total rises to 428

29 Sept. 1596 : after 39 new seizures & 13 discharges, thetotal rises to 454.

Details of this investigation, showing the actual dispersal of the enrolled evidence , are displayed in tabularform in the Appendixto the presentvolume.
