Excerpt from Rotuli Normanniae in Turri Londinensi Asservati, Johanne Et Henrico Quinto Angliæ Regibus, Vol. 1: De Annis 1200-1205, Necnon De Anno 1417
Normandy and their other dominions in France, took with them all the acts and public registers relating to those countries and deposited them in the Tower. It will be found, when the whole Of this important body of evidence is published, that there is scarcely a city or town in Normandy, Gascony, or such of the other provinces of France as were formerly subject to England, which will not be able to find its charter of incorporation, aug mentations of its privileges, or confirmations of its fran chises in this work. The religious communities in those countries will also obtain information of grants of land to them, exemptions from tolls and imposts, and other advantageous privileges: whilst the historians of France will discover many interesting documents, some tending to the establishment or elucidation of historical facts, others proving the antiquity of many of the principal families in that kingdom: supplying a fimd Of original data hitherto unknown.
