Rural Economy and Society in the Duchy of Cornwall 1300-1500

Zusammenfassung This study is centred on the Cornish manorial estates of the Duchy of Cornwall in the later Middle Ages! and has been compiled from a very full and hitherto neglected series of records! the completeness of which is perhaps unique for a lay estate.
