The English Nobility in the Late Middle Ages cover

First Published in 2004. Four things dominated the life of the mediaeval noble: warfare, politics, land and family. It is with these central themes that this book is concerned. It encompasses the whole of the upper segment of the late medieval society; examines the relation of social status and political influence; describes the noble household and council; examines in detail the territorial and familial policies pursued by great landholders; emphasises the inter-relationship of local and national affairs; is arranged thematically, making it ideal for student use and has implications for the whole medieval period.

'Given-Wilson is sensible and judicious, but also when necessary, incisive. As an introduction to the medieval nobility his book is ideal.'Times Literary Supplement
