THE ANGLO-NORMAN ARISTOCRACY: LANDHOLDING, INHERITANCE AND REGIONAL POWER IN ENGLAND AND NORTHERN FRANCE 1066-1265

  • Emmanuel Hall Fairfield Parade Cheltenham, England, GL53 United Kingdom (map)

Many units of inheritance in England and the Welsh March were formed during the Anglo-Norman period including Richard Neville’s earldoms of Warwick, Salisbury and the lordship of Glamorgan together with other lordships in the March, both Yorkist [ e.g. the Mortimer lands ] and Lancastrian together with the Mowbray lordships of Chepstow and Gower. Professor Power will explore this formative period from 1066 until the fall of Simon de Montfort.

Illustrated talk by Professor Daniel Power, Professor of the Medieval History Department of History, Swansea University.
