The language used in the source document has been retained, except as mentioned below. This includes unusual and inconsistent spellings (also of names and titles of publications), hyphenation, punctuation, the inconsistent use of quotation marks, etc. Non-English words and phrases (in particular in texts quoted by the author) have not been corrected, except as listed below.

Preface: ... the movable feasts are placed under the earliest days on which they can fall: this is not always the case, and some movable feasts are described in chapters without dates.

Pages 66 and 94: FitsStephen and FitzStephens may refer to the same person.

Page 255, And all that it wants is a more little silver: as printed in the source document. Other sources give “a little more silver”.

Page 258, Hucknall Folkard: as printed in the source document; possibly Hucknall Torkard, both names appear to exist.

Page 259, Akerman: as printed in the source document; others spellings exist as well.

Page 288, ... the enrolment of a regular armour ...: possibly an error for ... the enrolment of a regular army....

Page 440: ... after the death of his wife and her daughter ...: does not seem logical (his wife already having died), but is as printed in the source document. Other sources mention only the daughter in respect to the 6 pounds.

Changes made:

Some punctuation errors and obvious minor typographical errors have been corrected silently.

Some words were printed in Insular characters in the source document, these have been transcribed in a sans serif font: Insular.

Footnotes have been moved to under the paragraph, poem, etc. to which they belong.

For this e-text, festivals, days, dates etc. have been regarded as chapters, with countries, counties or other localities being sections. The end of the description of each chapter is indicated by an ornamental line. In some cases, this is a change compared to the source document.

In some cases the source of poems and songs has been moved to its own line underneath the poem or song.
