"The document edited in this volume... was drawn up when Henry VIII was preparing to go to war in France. Organised place by place, it is a record, firstly, of the forced loan of 1523 paid by the lay inhabitants of Gloucestershire of middling wealth, and secondly, of the military capability of the county... The list of those who had paid the loan is followed by lists of men fit for the military service, described as 'able,' -- distinguishing those with armour, or 'harness' -- and those without harness." --Dust jacket page 2.
