Expanded from a paper read to the Royal Historical Society in 1875, Joseph Fisher’s short history follows English land tenure through the ages. He moves from the earliest inhabitants, Romans and Scandinavians through the Normans and Plantagenets to the Tudors and Stuarts, showing how each regime reshaped the rights of lords and cultivators.
