Blowing up bubbles

Medieval documents are imperfect demographic sources, and historians can only evaluate a document's demographic value after its precise administrative purpose has been established. The Myntling Register is a remarkable and fascinating document, but there are grounds for doubting whether it can yield the high quality demographic data claimed for it by E.D. Jones (1989). This article compares the Myntling Register with material from other East Anglian estates of the late Middle Ages, and attempts to indicate its demographic worth; the article also reveals an interesting and under-researched aspect of lord-peasant relations in the fifteenth century
