7 Accounts of the stewards of the Talbot family of Blakemere 1392 - 1425
The Talbots of Blakemere, near Whitchurch, were among the leading families of the Welsh Marches in the late Middle Ages and became earls of Shrewsbury in 1442. Their household stewards kept financial accounts of everything purchased for the daily con-sumption of the family and their retainers at Blakemere, including food, drink, clothing, and hardware, and for their journeys on estate, family and political business. Eight accounts have survived and are dated between 1392 and 1425. They are translated here with an introduction, glossary, bibliography, and indexes.
