This book documents the heraldic visitation of the County Palatine of Lancaster, a process in which representatives of the College of Arms visited each of the county's gentry to confirm their right to use coats of arms. The visitation took place in 1664-5, during the Restoration period in England, and is an important source of information about the social and political climate of the time. This is a valuable resource for genealogists and historians of early modern England.
