Curia regis (Latin)
refers to the King’s Court. It refers to councils of advisers to the medieval
kings of Europe, including England. The curia
regis rolls are a source for various information
about people and places, particularly involving litigation. These records span
the period from Richard I to Henry II.
Records are held by the National
Archives - Court of Common Pleas and King's Bench, and Justices
Itinerant: Early Plea and Essoin Rolls (Reference KB
26).
The National Archives have a guide
to eyre courts from 1194 to 1348 in this series and another guide to outlaws. There is another guide to early plea
and ession rolls.
