Peasants and food security in England and Wales c. 1300
Food security is discussed with a particular focus on the decades either side of 1300, years characterised by poor weather and significant fluctuations in food availability, evident especially in the varied performance of grain harvests. Examining access to food and the vulnerability of the food supply in a period of particular pressure on food resources allows reflection on stresses on food availability in these decades as well as the range of a…

Impediments to expropriation. Peasant property rights in medieval England and Marcher Wales
In this paper, an attempt will be made to discuss the likely context for pre-plague indications of expropriation and its limits. There is plentiful evidence of an active land market in medieval villages by the end of the thirteenth century, and most likely for some time earlier. Fluctuation in the rate of buying and selling coincided with difficult harvest years and suggests a link between impecunious peasant sellers and wealthier peasant buyers.…
The Evolution of Manor Courts in Medieval England, c. 1250–1350: The Evidence of the Personal Actions
Manor courts held by landlords for their tenants and other local people existed in their thousands across medieval England. Debate persists concerning the character of these institutions during their heyday in the decades before 1350. This article uses a new database containing hundreds of manorial personal actions – lawsuits which treated areas roughly equivalent to modern tort and contract law – to explore the work of the manor courts, and to r…
Gabriel Byng. Church Building and Society in the Later Middle Ages
Church Building and Society in the Later Middle Ages is an engaging and significant study that sets church building—its administration and its financing—in later medieval England within the broader context of the changing economy and society of the period. At the volume’s heart, as Gabriel Byng explains in his introductory chapter, is an attempt to show the ways in which parish church building in the later Middle Ages was closely dependent on the…
The Culture of Food in England, 1200–1500, by C.M. Woolgar
Christopher Woolgar’s authoritative volume offers a wealth of engaging material on an important topic for our understanding of medieval society and its operation. Woolgar is well known for his research and writing on medieval diet and the functioning of the medieval household. His earlier work focused upon the great household with its inevitable emphasis upon the consumption of food and the management of the same. Important themes in that work re…
A Country Merchant, 1495–1520: Trading and Farming at the End of the Middle Ages, by Christopher Dyer
Christopher Dyer’s exploration of the life and business activity of John Heritage, a Cotswold wool merchant and quasi-capitalist farmer in the decades either side of 1500, is a delightful exposition of the ways in which the great and persistent themes of medieval social and economic history can be set within (for this area of the discipline at least) relatively novel historiographical approaches. In what has become a mild trend in recent years in…
Edward II: His Last Months and His Monument, by J. Barlow, R. Bryant, C. Heighway, C. Jeens and D. Smith, with G. Fowlie and L. Keen
There is much of interest in this collection of four essays on the end of Edward II’s life and his tomb; the chapters are not all especially closely related but are essentially separate gatherings on matters pertaining to Edward, his last months, his death and ‘after-life’, and his tomb and monument, and each has something valuable to offer in developing our understanding of Edward II. The core of this slim but detailed volume is an extensive ess…

Edward II – By Seymour Phillips
Credit and the rural economy in North-western Europe, c. 1200-c. 1850
The social economy of the medieval village in the early fourteenth century1
A significant issue for the historical investigation of the nature of the economy and society of the medieval English village has been the extent to which wealthier villagers were able and willing to respond to the needs of their less fortunate neighbours through informal charity, including the extension of credit and lowered costs for foodstuffs in periods of harvest failure. This article presents a case study of aspects of the local economy, pr…

Coq de village, batlle, serf opulent, paysan-marchand : voilà de bien singulières figures qui se détachent de la vision lisse des sociétés villageoises.

Ils occupent une position ambiguë entre le seigneur et les habitants, représentants de leurs semblables, mais aussi au service du puissant. Pleinement insérés dans…

Endettement paysan et crédit rural: Dans l’Europe médiévale et moderne
Dans la longue durée de l’ère pré-industrielle et dans les différents pays d’Europe, l’endettement paysan a constitué une question universelle. Au-delà de ce premier constat, les historiens rassemblés ici mettent en lumière le double visage, paradoxal, du crédit : tantôt instrument d’assujettissement et de spoliation entre les mains des puissants, tantôt indispensable lien social qui a empêché la paysannerie pauvre de sombrer

Tenurial Developments and the Availability of Customary Land in a Later Medieval Community
T he degree to which plague was responsible for the collapse of the manorial economy has long been a vexed question, but recent commentators have tended to place it at centre stage, acknowledging that the Black Death was more than just a catalyst for processes under way since the end of the thirteenth century.2 Studies of estates and individual manors have reflected the more general debates but, whatever their stance, most have been obliged to re…
