Abstract : "K. B. McFarlane once proposed that an examination of the lives of the gentry would enhance our understanding of late medieval society. In response to his challenge this book examines the fifteenth-century gentry of Leicestershire under five broad headings: as landholders, as members of a social community based on the county, as participants in and leaders of the government of the shire, as members of the wider family unit and, finally, as individuals." "The book reveals that while the Leicestershire gentry were not immune from the economic problems of the age, they were sufficiently flexible and opportunistic to weather these economic squalls better than most. Economically assertive, they were also socially cohesive, this cohesion being provided by the shire community. In a county not dominated by large ecclesiastical or lay magnate estates, the shire also provided the most important political unit, controlled by an oligarchy of superior gentry families who were relatively independent of outside interference. The basic social unit was the nuclear family, but external influences provided by concern for the wider kin, the lineage or economic and political advancement, were not major determinants of family strategy. Individualism among the gentry was already established by the fifteenth century, revealing its personnel as a self-assured and confident stratum in late medieval English society."--Jacket.
