G, Vol. 4: Preserved at Belvoir Castle The present volume consists of three sections, dealing respectively with - (i.) Ancient Charters, Cartularies, &c. (ii.) Letters and Papers, supplementary to those noticed in the three previous volumes. (iii.) Books of Household and other Accounts. I. The first of these sections has been prepared by Mr. J. H. Round, who has prefixed to it some introductory remarks, and has also supplied occasional notes upon the charters and cartularies examined by him. II. The additional letters printed in the present volume include some correspondence relating to the English expedition against Scotland in 1549, when the second Earl of Rutland was Lord Warden of the East and Middle Marches. They further illustrate the difficulties caused by the employment of foreign mercenaries, and the desertions of the English troops, largely owing to their repugnance to the monotonous duty of garrisoning the small and insanitary forts of the time. The reins of government were being wrested out of the hands of Somerset, and in view of the social troubles during which his administration came to an end, it is not surprising to find that the Earl suffered from insufficient supplies in men and money.
