Synopsis
Discover the life behind the Rows Rol and the man who chronicled Warwick’s past.
This nonfiction work surveys John Rows, a 15th‑century observer who left a lasting genealogical and historical record. It frames his Roll of the Earls of Warwick, his connections to Guy’s Cliff, and his place in English scholarship at a time of royal intrigue.
The book draws on Introductions and inscriptions attached to Rows’s manuscripts, tracing how his writings illuminate the monuments, abbeys, and castles of Warwickshire. It highlights the places he knew, the people he studied, and the balance between his life and the political drama of his era. Expect careful notes on his sources, his travels, and the ways later historians interpreted his rolls.What you will experience
