In early times it was the king in council who received the petitions from those subjects not satisfied by common law procedures, but by the end of the 15<sup>th</sup> century the ''chancellor, ''a leading member of the king's council had taken over this role.&nbsp; The Chancellor was often a bishop having no legal training but much common sense, and his ''chancery'' could sit anywhere and at any time;&nbsp; the procedures was a simple and informal thus quick and inexpensive.&nbsp; It was based on equity not common law and conducted entirely by English.

The Chancellor was often a bishop having no legal training but much common sense, and his ''chancery'' could sit anywhere and at any time; the procedures was a simple and informal thus quick and inexpensive. It was based on equity not common law and conducted entirely by English.  


Equity is a system of justice based on conscience and fairness rather than on the strict rules of common law. A decision ''in equity'' was one given in accordance with natural justice where the law did not provide adequate remedy, or in which its operation would have been unfair. After the Reformation lawyers tended to be appointed as chancellors and they regarded decisions in equity as precedents and thus equity soon became an organized system of rules as rigid as those of law. Chancery business became more rigid, slow and expensive because chancery clerks were paid fees not salaries, so the more paperwork they could generate the higher their income. However this system had benefits for the future genealogist with the volume of documents generated! Chancery is the court with more surviving records than any other.

C1 documents were sorted in the 19th century into bundles according to the name of the chancellor to whom they were addressed.&nbsp; In many cases, the<br>chancellor was specifically named and suits can be dated to within a few years.&nbsp;In others, the address was such that more than one chancellor could be identified (e.g. 'the bishop of London, Lord Chancellor', when several bishops of London have been Chancellor in their time).&nbsp; To narrow this down further,<br>you will need to consult the tables given at the front of each of the published volumes mentioned in the Bibliography.<br>These are all on the open shelves at The National Archives.
