Description
The History of Landholding in England by Joseph Fisher is a comprehensive study of the evolution of land ownership in England from the Anglo-Saxon period to the 19th century. The book explores the various forms of land tenure, including feudalism, copyhold, leasehold, and freehold, and the social and economic implications of each system. Fisher examines the impact of the Norman Conquest on land ownership, the rise of the gentry class, and the enclosure movement. He also discusses the role of the church, the Crown, and the common law in shaping landholding practices. The book provides a detailed analysis of the legal and political developments that led to the modern system of land ownership in England. Fisher's work is an important resource for scholars of English legal and social history, as well as for anyone interested in the history of land ownership and its impact on society.Whatever doubts may exist as to the influence of the Norman Conquest upon the mass of the people--the FREEMEN, the ceorls, and the serfs--there can be no doubt that its effect upon the higher classes was very great. It added to the existing FEUDALISM--the system of Baronage, with its concomitants of castellated residences filled with armed men. It led to frequent contests between neighboring lords, in which the liberty and rights of the FREEMEN were imperilled.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
