Information
has glosseng: The Liber feodorum or Book of Fees refers to a book compiled in c. 1302 for the use of the English Exchequer. In two volumes of parchment, it gathers together some 500 written surveys of fiefs or lands held directly of the Crown, as recorded between 1198 and 1292. From an early date, the book has also been informally known as the Testa de Nevill (meaning "Head of Nevill"), after one of its two major source collections. Because the standard edition, whose volumes were published between 1920 and 1931, draws to some extent on the original documents, the title Book of Fees is more often used by modern scholars to refer to a reconstruction of the collections used by the transcriber of the book.
