The rolls of parliament were
the official records of the meetings of the English parliament from the reign
of Edward I (1272 - 1307) until the reign of Henry VII (1485 - 1509), after
which they were superseded by the journals of the lords and, somewhat later, of
the commons.
The rolls, which amount in total to over four million words, were first
edited in the eighteenth century and published in 1783 in six folio volumes
entitled Rotuli Parliamentorum (RP) under
the general editorship of the Reverend John Strachey.
From the Keele network you
can now access the rolls as edited in RP in their entirety,
