Synopsis

This book comprises a myriad of original monastic muniments preserved together in their entirety from the foundation of the Augustinian Priory at Selborne up to the time of its extinction. Never before has such a comprehensive collection survived from any like house. These charters and documents, which date from 1228 to 1490, describe the history of the medieval priory in unparalleled detail, allowing a rich narrative of its inner workings and daily life to be constructed. The author's meticulous examination of this remarkable archive adds to our understanding of the social, economic, and religious life of medieval England, while also shedding light on the personalities and families connected with the priory. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars and anyone interested in medieval history, monasticism, or the county of Hampshire.
