An invaluable historical document detailing the compositions, or fines, levied upon Wiltshire gentlemen who declined to receive the Order of Knighthood at the coronation of King Charles I. This meticulously compiled record offers a unique insight into the financial and social pressures exerted during the early years of Charles I's reign. The records, spanning from 1630 to 1632, provide a snapshot of the landed gentry of Wiltshire and their relationship with the Crown. This collection is an essential resource for historians and researchers interested in English history, legal history, and the socio-political dynamics of the 17th century. It sheds light on the controversial methods employed by the Stuart monarchy to raise revenue and assert its authority, and the responses of the English gentry to these policies.
