NOTES

This Medieval Hierarchy Series was initiated as a result of looking into my own family's medieval history. I noticed the strong links created between the families of the Earls of Devon, Gloucester, Leicester and others. I hope that this Series will be extended by the inclusion of many additional families, particularly those of Devon and the West Country, regardless of their importance in the Medieval Hierarchy.

Please mail me with family details and/or other comment. John Lerwill.
