Knight In Medieval England 1000-1400
A study of the origins of knighthood in ancient England through its role in the literature of the fourteenth century discussing how both knights and knighthood changed and evolved over time.
The Lady in Medieval England, 1000-1500
A study of the role of the lady in 11th and 12th century society, how she related to predominant male culture, interacted with gentlemen, and suffered at the hands of rogues of her own class. The text is illustrated by contemporary drawings from manuscripts and documents.
The Origins of the English Gentry
Although the gentry played a central role in medieval England, this study is the first sustained exploration of its origins and development between the mid-thirteenth and the mid-fourteenth century. Arguing against views which see the gentry as formed or created earlier, the text investigates as well the relationship between lesser landowners and the Angevin state; the transformation of knighthood; and the role of lesser landowners in society and politics.
Lordship, Knighthood and Locality
A study of the evolution of the knightly class in Coventry and Warwickshire.
The Knight in Medieval England, 1000-1400
Discusses the actual practice of knighthood & the knight's role within society. First looks at the origins of knighthood in England & its evolution in late Saxon & Anglo-Norman times. The complex role of the knight between the mid-12th & the mid-13th centuries leads on to the rise of a more exclusive, chivalric knighthood, & its social functions, including the use of arms, effigies & seals. The impact of literature & the dissemination of ideas about the knight's role is also examined, in particular how the knight & knighthood were perceived in the late 14th century. Wide variety of illustrations. This book will interest academic historians, students, & general readers.

Politics and Society in Mid Thirteenth-Century England
Despite the multidirectional nature of modern research, the interpretation of the political history of thirteenth-century England has remained locked into a traditional framework bequeathed by the mid-twentieth-century historian, R. F. Treharne, and embellished by the emphases and accentuations of his present-day successors. Characterised by its conception of community, its constitutionalism, its ready identification of a national enterprise, and its predilection for idealism and 'progressive' thinking, this framework remains close to the Whig interpretation of English history. It is reinforced by the continuation of reverence for the baronial leader, Simon de Montfort. In contrast, Peter Co...
The Origins of the English Gentry
A sustained attempt to explore the 13th-14th century origins of the English gentry.
The Foundations of Gentry Life
Peter Coss brings to life the day-to-day domestic life of the medieval gentry, from their obsession with display, to social codes of conduct and the treatment of guests. Drawing on the rich and rarely studied archive of the Multon family of Frampton, Coss provides an essential contribution to the study of 'gentry culture'.
The Lady in Medieval England 1000-1500
