Eyre rolls give us a wealth of information about crime in the medieval period. This volume presents and translates 776 non-civil cases heard before justices in Devon in 1238, including cases of theft, robbery, assault and murder. It is also unusual in giving detailed evidence about local matters such as the competence of local sheriffs and the impact of shipwrecks on the Devon coast. The Introduction sets out the context of these records, discussing both thirteenth-century justice and the local situation in Devon.
