Elizabethan muster certificates on the AALT website


This list of Elizabethan muster certificates, with links to images of the original documents on the Anglo-American Legal Tradition website, is based on information kindly provided by Dave King. It covers the period 1558-1580, and includes only documents that list the names of individuals. There are many other certificates that record only numbers. These images are part of the Elizabethan State Papers Project, and were all provided by Helen Good, who created the project.

(Note that TNA SP 12/62-65 (from 1569) also contain muster certificates, but images of these volumes are not currently available.)
