This is a study of the major landholders of England and their
estates during the reign of Edward the Confessor. It is the first
comprehensive analysis of the lay landholders recorded in Domesday
Book. Peter A. Clarke examines not only the great earls but also
lesser lords with significant holdings, and the complex network of
relationships based on land. As well as Domesday, Dr Clarke makes
full use of all other available evidence, such as chronicles and
charters, and skilfully builds a detailed and convincing picture of
landholding and lordship in eleventh-century England. He assesses
the impact of the Norman Conquest, contrasting conditions under
Edward the Confessor with those of the Norman regime. Dr Clarke's
work marks a significant advance in knowledge and understanding of
medieval England, and its extensive and detailed appendices of
landholders and their estates will form an invaluable reference
resource.
