Summary

Description
English: A specimen of final concord, or fine of lands, dealing with a messuage with appurtenances in the County of Lincoln, dating to 1303. The two vertical blocks of text, separated by a vertical wavy line, are duplicate copies of the final concord, each of which would go to the separate parties. The bottom portion, known as the foot of the fine, would be enrolled by the court so as to serve as a record of the settlement. The whole document is a chirograph, drawn up on a single piece of parchment, cut with a wavy rather than straight line, with the cut proceeding across words (usually, as in this case, "CIROGRAPHUM") written by the chirographer to work as proof that the original pieces were part of the same document.
