The medieval development of the distinct region of north-east
England explored through close examination of landscape, religion
and history. The recent surge of interest in the political,
ecclesiastical, social and economic history of north-eastern
England is reflected in the essays in this volume. The topics
covered range widely, including the development of both rural and
urban life and institutions. There are contributions on the
well-known richness of Durham cathedral muniments, its priory and
bishopric, and there is also a particular focus on the institutions
and practices which evolved to deal with Scottish border problems.
A number of papers broach lesser-known subjects which accordingly
offer new territory for exploration, among them the distinctive
characteristics of local jurisdiction in the northern counties, the
formation of north-eastern landscapes, the course of agrarian
development in the region and the emergence of a northern gentry
class alongside the better known ecclesiastical and lay magnates.
CHRISTIAN D. LIDDY is Lecturer in History at the University of
Durham, where R.H. BRITNELL is Emeritus Professor.
