In 1278, the local nobility in England were required to provide written proof of their land holdings as part of the Hundred Rolls, an inquiry ordered by King Edward I to assess feudal rights and revenues. This was done in order to increase royal control over land ownership and taxation.
The Statute of Quo Warranto required local nobility to provide written proof of their land holdings in 1278. This statute was used to limit the power of the nobility by making them justify their land ownership to the Crown.
In 1278, the Statute of Westminster required local nobility to provide written proof of their land holdings to the king's officials. This helped in establishing and documenting land ownership for taxation and administrative purposes.

The primary function of the nobility, during much of the Middle Ages was to provide military support for a monarch. Members of the nobility provided a number of services for the king. In exchange for their title, land, and the king's protection, they were to provide, in addition to military support, give oaths of allegiance and loyalty. They also provided the king resources by providing local administration of taxes, military units, an avenue of communication with the common people. The members of the nobility had a variety of ranks, with some at the lower ranks providing support to some in the higher, in the same way they provided support to the king. The nobles provided land and security to serfs, who supplied them with part of their crops and loyalty.
Common people, or serfs, were typically obligated to provide labor and pay taxes to their overlords. However, one duty that was not typically required of them was to provide military service, as that responsibility usually fell to the nobility or knights. Serfs were primarily bound by agricultural work and local obligations, rather than direct involvement in warfare or defense.

Minor nobility refers to individuals or families who hold noble titles or rank but possess limited power, wealth, or land compared to higher-ranking nobles, such as dukes or counts. They often serve in local government or as landholders within a specific region, and their influence is typically more localized. The minor nobility plays a role in the social and political fabric of a society, often acting as intermediaries between the higher nobility and the common people.
