c. 1190-1265. The Dublin Guild Merchant Roll
The guild
roll of medieval Dublin is the earliest-known town record extant in Britain and
Ireland, and is certainly one of the best preserved and most striking documents
of its kind. The roll was compiled between 1190 and 1265 and contains the names
of those admitted annually to the merchant guild of Dublin with, for the early
years, a record of fines paid on entry. The guild members came primarily from
settlements in Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland but also from towns
throughout Western Europe, from Scandinavia to Italy. In many instances the
occupation of members is recorded in the text which is Latin, with occasional
entries in English and French. The roll provides unique information on the
social and economic history of medieval Dublin and its relationship with Europe
in a time of notable and cultural developments.

Ric. Tracy complains that John de Ocle unjustly prevents him from driving
his cattle by the high road between Ros [New Ross] and his pasture of the
Pollrith to his damage and against peace.
John comes and says that the place where he claims to have his way is his
freehold and severalty, and he prays judgment whether he ought to answer of his
freehold by bill, without the King's writ. Therefore let Ricard take nothing by
his plaint, but be in mercy for false claim, and let him procure a writ if he
wish.
