1. Fol. 1. Richard Bernard's feodary of:

The liberty of Pickering (fol. 1)

And the honours of Pontefract (fol. 10), Tickhill (fol. 37), and Craven (fol. 41), with lists of fines for respite of homage in the honour of Pontefract (fol. 45), and of suitors of its court (fol. 48), 19 Eliz. (1577): the original is now P.R.O., Duchy of Lancaster records, returns of knights' fees 2 (28)

3. Fol. 64. Rental and (fol. 72) feodary of the honour of Pontefract, 3 Hen. vi (1425), the former with additions to 1594 (Duchy of Lancaster misc. book 106).

The returns for the honour of Pontefract are made by wapentakes, viz. Agbrigg (fols. 10, 59v, 68, 82), Morley (fols. 13v, 57v, 68, 78), Osgoldcross (fols. 18, 56, 64, 72), Staincross (fols. 26, 59, 66, 76), Skyrack (fols. 30, 49, 58, 80), and Barkston (fols. 34, 60v, 83v). Dodsworth has added marginal headings and, at fol. 87, miscellaneous Yorkshire notes from placita de quo warranto, etc. There is an index of surnames at fol. i, and of places in MS. Dodsworth 21.

MS. Dodsworth 35, 1642, 149 leaves: Extracts from Exchequer and other records:

Fol. 1. 'Collectanea ex Rubro Libro Scaccarii, 1642', partially enumerated in the Old Catalogue: other extracts from it are in MSS. Dodsworth 47, 89, and 141.

Fol. 33. A few notes of Exchequer fines for the counties of Bedford, Buckingham, and Hereford, Edw. i-Hen. vi.

Fol. 77. 'Ces sunt les nons e les armes et banerez de Engletere': the 'parliamentary' roll of arms, temp. Edw. ii; first printed from this MS. by Edw. Rowe Mores as Nomina et Insignia Gentilicia (Oxf., 1749). This is the same version as B.M., Lansdowne MS. 855 (see Genealogist 1st ser., v, 1881, p. 17), and appears to have been transcribed from 'a book in the Heralds' office': see no. 5086, fol. 84. Fols. 85-92 and 93-100 have been transposed by the binder.

Fol. 105. Extracts from the book of accounts of Roger de Waltham, keeper of the King's Wardrobe, from 1 May 15 Edw. ii (1322) to 19 Oct. 17 Edw. ii (1323), here described as 'in Scaccario penes rememoratorem Regis' but now B.M., Stowe MS. 553, viz.: particulars of wages of soldiers employed in the Scottish war and in garrisons on the Marches to May 15, 1323 (fol. 106); and accounts of the sale of victuals at Newcastle-upon-Tyne by Robert de Notyngham and William de Kirkeby, 16 Edw. ii (fol. 128) and 17 Edw. ii (fol. 135), and at Carlisle and Skynburnesse by John de Louthre and others (fol. 144).
