+Chancery records were the records of the king's court and were a type of court record. They include requests made to the king, such as requests for confirmation (authorization) of wills, review of previous court's decisions, permission to marry a cousin, and authority for an underage heir to act as his own guardian. They also include appointments and royal decrees, including changes of laws and procedures. Information varies depending on the type of request or decision. However, any mention in these records will at least establish that a person was living at that time and potentially could include much other information.
