Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of everyday people in Worcestershire in the fourteenth century. Using taxation and other records, the author shines a light on the people, places, and trades that made up this region of medieval England. Worcestershire was affected by both the prosperity of the wool trade and the devastation of the Black Death, which resulted in a significant drop in tax revenue from 1275 to 1327. In the 14th century, English had largely replaced French and Latin in everyday life, and surnames and nicknames had become widespread. The book provides a rich overview of medieval Worcestershire and will appeal to anyone interested in medieval history, local history, genealogy, and taxation records. It offers insights into the lives of our ancestors and helps us to understand the social and economic conditions of the time.
