The articles in this book, reprinted from the journal Past and
Present, are all, in different ways, concerned with the ownership
of landed property in medieval England and with those who worked
the land. Problems debated include those concerning the keeping
intact of the great estates of the Anglo-Norman barons in the face
of both inheritance claims and of political manipulation by the
crown. Other articles show that the difficulties of knights and
lesser gentry were no less complex, as social shifts resulted from
economic developments as well as from their military role and their
relationships with their overlords. The essays are of as much
importance for those interested in the history of politics as to
those concerned with the economy and society of medieval England.
