Synopsis

This book contains a collection of pedigrees of notable families from more than 40 counties in England and Wales, collected by the author during the 1620s on behalf of the College of Arms. It is an essential reference for anyone tracing their ancestors back to the time of the Stuarts. The book includes an introduction explaining the system of heraldry used by the College of Arms, and appendices detailing the careers of heralds past and present, as well as the fees to be paid to the College. It is an invaluable resource for genealogists, antiquaries, and anybody interested in the history of Britain's landed families.
