  abstract = {<p>A fifteenth-century bailiff named Nicholas Greenhalgh drew a picture in his account book. Next to the image he wrote <em>noverint universi per presentes me</em> ({\textquoteleft}Everyone shall know me by these present [things]{\textquoteright}), suggesting that he conceived it as a self-portrait, one that would be preserved in the archive of his lord. This essay explores these two suggestions, first by placing the image in the wider context of such {\textquoteleft}doodles{\textquoteright} in fifteenth-century administrative writings; and second by considering the afterlife of seigneurial archives in present-day England. It argues that such archives continue to reanimate the relations of lordship that generated them.<br>\&nbsp;</p>},
