Inhaltsangabe

Domestic rebellions and foreign wars, the king's rule, murder, traitors and execution, crippling debt, arranged marriages of young heirs and heiresses, avoidance of taxes, medieval decrees of inheritance, the black death and famine. All that and more can be found in a fascinating new book based on the meticulous research of exceptional author Murray Johnston.

While his first book, The Watford Knight's Fee, will satisfy serious students and enthusiasts of medieval English history, his second opens the door to everyone. A time machine takes the reader along a fascinating and sometimes wobbly journey with the lords of the manor through 700 years - including, unique in English history, one family for 500 years.

Welcome to the world of manors in medieval England!

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Murray Johnston is the author of several books on family history venturing as far back as the 16th century. Rediscovering medieval places, events and people became an inseparable part of his life. Exploring connections to an ancient English parish introduced him to the medieval world of manors and the rise and decline of one in particular through seven centuries. Living the adventure of researching more than a thousand documents found in England's greatest archival institutions gave Murray the basis for his latest book: Give a Manor Take a Manor.
