Abstract:

The main aim of this project was to collect, edit and publish the Acts of Henry II and his family as a traditional scholarly edition.

Main Topics:

The data consist of complete transcriptions of the acts of Henry II and the acts of Richard I, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, Young King Henry (son of Henry II), John, Count of Mortain (later King John), and William, brother of Henry II. The acts are indexed in a database which contains the following information for each document: names of beneficiaries; place at which act is stated to have been given; archive or archives where surviving manuscripts are held; main printed editions; country where granted lands or privileges were; country in which act is stated to have been given; type of beneficiary (monastery, cathedral/bishop, individual, town, or miscellaneous); type of document (charter, writ, charter/writ, or miscellaneous); status of the earliest surviving version (original, ispeximus, cartulary copy, early modern or modern transcript, or printed text); period to which it has been dated (e.g. for Henry II, 1154-62, 1154-72/3, 1162-72/3, 1172/3-1189, or 1154-1189).
