Description: "This medieval document provides a unique insight into the social and economic history of late 15th century Dublin. The roll gives the names and occupations of 1,425 people, both men and women, who were granted the right to vote in municipal elections during a period of political upheaval and change. Many of these newly-enfranchised citizens derived their right to freedom by birth or on marriage, and the roll gives the names of fathers, husbands and wives, allowing the researcher to build up a pattern of family and social connections, and providing the genealogist with valuable information from five centuries ago."--BOOK JACKET.
