left in the dark in other fifteenth-century family letter

*MEDIEVAL PROSOPOGRAPHY*
A careful and well researched analysis of this family, one that
reveals much about the social and economic milieu of the minor
aristocracy in late medieval England.
*MEDIUM AEVUM*
Dr Noble has done us a great service in drawing the medieval
historian's attention to the Stonors.
*SOUTHERN HISTORY*
There is sensitive and careful work here, all the more effectively
presented for its depiction of the Stonors against a broad
historiographical background. Noble summarises the latest thinking
on the gentry, on their economic fortunes, and on lordship and
kinship in order to provide the setting for her own findings.
