This study explores pre- and extra-marital relationships among the
gentry and nobility of the north of England from 1450 to 1640: the
keeping of mistresses, the taking of lovers, the birth of
illegitimate children and the fate of those children. It challenges
assumptions about the extent to which such activities declined in
the period, and hence about the impact of Protestantism and other
changes to the culture of the elite. A major contribution to the
literature on marriage and sexual relationships, family, kinship
and gender, it is aimed at an academic readership in the fields of
social and political history. -- .
