Summary
THE eighth report of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts speaks of the records of the city of Chester as “beginning with Henry the Second's writ of license to the citizens of Chester to trade in Durham [sic] as they were wont to do in the time of Henry the First” (p. xv.). The records themselves are similarly described in the actual report on them (pp. 355-403) as “beginning with a curious writ, addressed by Henry the Second to his bailiffs of the city of Durham” [sic]. This, which is among those items spoken of as “especially interesting and important,” figures thus at the head of the calendar:–
(1) Henry II. License to the burgesses of Chester to buy and sell at Durham [sic] as they were wont to do in the time of Henry I. –“Henricus Dei gratia Rex Anglie et Dux Normannie et Aquitanie et Comes Andegavie balluis [sic] de Dunelina [sic] salutem:– Precipio quod Burgenses Cestrie possint emere et vendere ad detaillum [or doraillumj apud Dunelinam [sic] habendo et faciendo easdem consuetudines quas faciebant tempore Regis Henrici avi mei et easdem ibi habeant rectitudines et libertates et liberas consuetudines quas tempore illo habere solebant, teste, Willelmo filio Ald' dapifero Apud Wintoniam.
