 The lead mines of Derbyshire are frequently mentioned in these 

 rolls. Ralf fil Engleram accounted for ^18 in 2 Henry II. 

 respecting them. In 23 Henry II. there is a charge of 10 marks 

 for 20 carretates of lead for the use of the king at Windsor. In 

 26 Henry II. 20 marks are charged for 40 car of lead which the 

 king gave to the Cistercians, and 100 shillings for carrying the 

 same lead from Peak to St. Botolf's (Boston), and £,2,2, 6s. 8d. 

 for 100 carretates for the work of the church at Waltham, and 

 for carrying it from the Peak to St. Botolf's, and from thence by 

 ship to London, £14 13s. 6d. 



Carriage was not always very expensive. For carrying the trea- 

 sury from Newark to Doncaster, 5s., and from Nottingham to North- 

 ampton, 4s. ; for carrying the charters of Aaron (the Jew) from 

 Nottingham to Northampton only 3s. was charged ; and for carry- 

 ing the money (denariis) of the Archbishop of York and of Aaron 

 (which the king gave to John his son for going into Ireland) from 

 Nottingham to Stutibr (Tutbury), 18s. 



Majister William Testard, in 9 Richard L, paid a fine of 300 

 marks for having his archdeaconry. In 3 John, Elias the Dean 

 paid 100 marks for having (arnica* sua) and his children and 

 servants. 



Very curious entries are made relative to buying marriages. 

 The following is worth notice : — Godfrey de Albini, the brother of 

 the Earl of Arundel, accounted for ^1000 for having to wife the 

 great Nottinghamshire heiress, Matilde de Caux (Calceto) the 

 widow of Ralf fil Stephen, " if she would have him," was modestly 

 added (si ipsa voluerit eum accipere). However, it would not 

 appear that the lady accepted him, nor did the attempt cost him 



*Possibly this word is amita (aunt).
