4.9/5 (12339 ratings)

Description:"Nowdays, Alton Towers is a well-known amusement park, but from c.1066-1316 it belonged to the de Verdun family who from humble origins in Normandy came to rule estates stretching from Buckinghamshire to the Welsh march, and from the eastern counties of Louth and Meath to the Shannon in Ireland." "This study examines the growth of family power, through service to the crown and military strength, which culminated in the appointment of Theobald II de Verdun as justiciar of Ireland in 1312. It also considers how a tradition of royal service was gradually diluted by the disturbed politics of the late-thirteenth and early-fourteenth centuries and by a pressing need for money." "A study of the members of the family, their estates and their identity provides an insight into the problems that holding lands over such a wide area presented and how these problems were dealt with. It also offers an opportunity to examine how the economics of the estates in England, Ireland and Wales differed, and to suggest the reasons for those differences."--BOOK JACKET.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
