The Townshends and Their World

By Moreton, C. E.

0 - Default Title
Description
This is the first scholarly history of the rise of the Townshends, one of Norfolk's most famous families. C. E. Moreton exploits to the full the family papers in order to tell the story of individuals like Roger Townshend I, a prominent late medieval lawyer, and his son, also Roger, a leading gentleman of the county. Dr. Moreton traces the growing wealth and power of the Townshends, and sets them in the context of the gentry elite they had joined. Their participation in county government, as well as their lawsuits, estates policy, and sheepfarming reveal much about the gentry and local society in late medieval and early Tudor England.
