The gentry played a central role in medieval England, and this
study is a sustained attempt to explore the origins of the gentry
and to account for its contours and peculiarities between the
mid-thirteenth and the mid-fourteenth century. The book deals with
the deep roots of the gentry, but argues against views which see
the gentry as formed or created earlier. It investigates the
relationship between lesser landowners and the Angevin state, the
transformation of knighthood, and the role of knights in the
rebellion of mid thirteenth-century England. The role of lesser
landowners in the society and politics of Edwardian England is then
put under close scrutiny. It also emphasises changes in social
terminology and the rise of social gradation, the emergence of the
county as an important focus of identity, the gentry's control over
the populace, and their openness to the upward mobility of
professionals.
