Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
Large estates have long been recognized as the basic unit of exploitation in the early-medieval period. Although many have sought to distance themselves from the multiple estate model (G. Jones), most would still accept that early-medieval England was everywhere divided into large territories which fragmented in the later pre-Conquest period to form the manorial units recorded by Domesday Book.
