Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteI've just finished your book on Church & State records, and both enjoyed reading it, and was very impressed with its contents. Howvever 2 minor items jumped out at me:
1. p.53 "6 pecks of meat" should surely be "6 peckes of MEAL"
2. p.114 last paragraph "land was held from the seventh century" almost certainly should be 9th century (when the vikings landed) or later (when Norway was de facto ruler - I'm not sure of this date.
cheers, Jean Mackenzie
Thank Jean, noted for any potential second edition!
