OTHER IMPORTANT MEDIEVAL LINKS
The 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.
Thank you for visiting!
