A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Hitchin, in Hertfordshire, which I had the privilege of delivering before the Society of Arts and Letters of that town. A general desire was expressed that the material which I had accumulated, and which, of course, appeared in the lectures in very condensed form, should find more permanent record. The early history of the Manor of Hitchin was closely connected with that of the great baronial family of Balliol, the story of whose rise to power is one of the most remarkable in English history, as their fall and their disappearance from it is one of the most pathetic. But in the course of the closer studies in which I found myself involved in the preparation of the book I came upon fresh facts in the history of the Manor, and was able to carry the line of its possessors back into pre-C onquest days. The narrative of the connection of Tovi and of King Harold with the Manor of Hitchin forms an entirely new chapter in its history one that was unknown to any of the county historians. This alone, I hope, may be considered a justification for my book.
