Editorial Notes
- [Contemporary writers as well as modern scholars disagree on the exact relationship between the Marshalsea Court and the Palace Court. While some scholars (eg. Kenyon) state that the Palace Court replaced the Marshalsea Court, in fact it appears that the two courts co-existed from 1612 until both were abolished in 1849.]
