Medieval Data On Hundred Years War Goes Online
Important unpublished records of the Hundred Years War are to be made available online in an innovative new project led by the University of Oxford and assisted by The National Archives.
The Arts and Humanities Research Council has awarded almost £750,000 to the Universities of Oxford and Liverpool to digitise and edit the Gascon Rolls. These consist of 113 unpublished manuscripts which cover the era 1317 to 1468.
The rolls, currently held at The National Archives, comprise administrative records relating to English rule in medieval Gascony. These include writs and grants, but also contain enrolments of diplomatic and official material.
The project is expected to last three years, and will also be assisted by King's College London and the Ranulf Higden Society.

I am interested in finding more information about John Botwright D.D.1400 to 1474,
He was the master of Corpus Christi College 1443 to 1474, and was chaplain to King Henry V1 about 1447.
He now lies to the left of the alter in the St Peter & Paul church in Swaffham.
I am the grandson of Vera Boatwright, who was born in Suffolk in20/8/1905 to 12/8/1985, and had told me from childhood, of a possible connection to John.
Regards
Richard
