Author Topic: 14th century archers indenture Edward MacTavish Member Member # 774 posted 03-30-2005 09:45 AM                Hello, I am trying to find a copy of a 14th century indenture for a household archer. English or border Scotish perferably. Thanks for any help, Edward Registered: Mar 2005  |  IP: Logged dsj Member Member # 770 posted 03-30-2005 04:01 PM                Uk's public record office holds them with the muster rolls.

An Indenture may well include for the provision of archers alongside the Indentured man, so it depends upon what you are actually looking for. The PRO (National Archives) has more records for the period than you could possibly read, even if you could read the text ... but finding them ... now that is a different question. If you start searching in E101 and specify the dates you'll begin to see some of what there ... but each reference here can be anything from 2 lines to a massive roll of parchment that they'll refuse to estimate how big it is (sorry bitter experience here). Fun (?) searching though Cheers Dave Registered: May 2000  |  IP: Logged
