In Vassals, Heiresses, Crusaders, and Thugs, Hugh M. Thomas takes the study of the gentry back to the period 1154-1216. His conclusions not only reveal remarkable similarities between the gentry of various periods but also shed light on the massive changes that transformed England in the Angevin Period UR - https://doi.org/10.9783/9781512807882 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781512807882 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/cover/covers/9781512807882.jpg ER -
