EBOOK Lords of the Central Marches English Aristocracy and Frontier Society, 1087-1265
Opis
In the Middle Ages, the March between England and Wales was a contested frontier zone, a 'land of war'. Brock Holden examines how the English aristocracy of this borderland organised themselves and their followers - politically, socially, economically and militarily - in order to survive against the increasing power of their Welsh opponents.
