Opis

This study makes a unique source accessible to historians of the later medieval nobility. It contains evidence of daily life, diet, hospitality, etiquette, travel, the arts and politics, as well as medieval finance generally. In Part 1, an introduction discusses these documents as a coherent body of records, and places them in the context of the administrative systems for which they were created. Their diplomatic forms and development are analyzed and compared with those on the Continent, and an extensive glossary is provided to assist scholars in the study of these sources.

Recenzje

These meticulously compiled volumes are the results of over a decade's worth of research. ...These volumes contain material of great interest far beyond the activities which went on in grand medieval households. ...For agrarian historians household accounts are rich sources for all kinds of topics.
