Need for article
[edit]I see no reason to keep this. It's enough that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Exchequer itself have separate articles; this should be merged with the latter - which is the only article that links here. --dllu 20:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree and would like to see it expanded. The editor's notes at the bottom of http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/medieval/excheq.htm state that: "The value of this essay for early English history cannot be over-estimated; in every direction it throws light upon the existing state of affairs." I found a skim of it very interesting for what it said about how the business of government was conducted in the 12th century, and there is surely much to be said about the treatise that could fill a decent article, if there are any scholars of the Middle Ages willing to write it. 01:30, 6 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.218.179 (talk)
- It describes 4 circuits of itinerant justices; academics argue, therefore, that it must have been written before 1179, when the number of circuits was reduced to 4. I must be missing something here. --Wetman (talk) 01:15, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Why should the reader also check out Tractatus of Glanvill? Wouldn't it be better to draw a connexion in the text and provide the link there? —Srnec (talk) 22:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
