Abstract

The purpose of this work is two-fold· First, it makes available hitherto unpublished material relating to over four hundred persons who inhabited Bristol between I36O and 1500; secondly, it evaluates the main source material which consists of wills proved at Bristol and Canterbury· This evaluation involves both a general assessment of the use of wills as an historical source, and a specific examination of those relating to the inhabitants of Bristol· It is hoped that this research will be useful not only to subsequent work on Bristol and the surrounding rural areas, but also in the wider context of the study of medieval towns and ports.
