Thought it was interesting that the reason we have these records is because
of the exchequer:
Dr Bell said: "The service records survive because the English exchequer had 
a very modern obsession with wanting to be sure that the government's money 
was being spent as intended.
"Therefore we have the remarkable survival of indentures for service 
detailing the forces to be raised, muster rolls showing this service and 
naming every soldier from duke to archer."
He said accounts from captains showing how funds were spent and entries 
detailing when the exchequer requested the payments can be found.

Cheers, Hillary
