This is a comprehensive study of minor landowners - the gentry - in
one county in fifteenth-century England. In common with other local
studies of the later Middle Ages, it builds upon the seminal work
of K. B. McFarlane, looking at the political and social world in
the localities from which the nobles drew their power. The book
aims to present a rounded picture of the experiences of the gentry,
relating their private and their public lives, and their permanent
concerns to the changing needs of local and national politics. Its
approach is thus both thematic, exploring the main elements, often
private in nature, which moulded their public actions, such as
marriage, estate management and senses of family, and
chronological, presenting a detailed narrative of politics and
account of political structures and relationships. The book is
intended as a contribution to the history of England as a whole in
the fifteenth century and to the study of the long-term development
of the English landed classes and the English constitution.
