あらすじ・解説
In this episode of Domesday Delving, we head to Ledbury in Herefordshire, a manor divided between knights, a priest, a radman, and the all-powerful Bishop of Hereford. But its Domesday entry also tells a tale of land disputes, shifting power, and the slow disappearance of Anglo-Saxon traditions under Norman rule.
We’ll uncover why Harold Godwinson is never called King Harold in the Domesday Book, what it meant to be a radman in a changing world, and how a stake in a salt pan at Droitwich linked Ledbury to one of medieval England’s most important industries. And we’re busting the myth that the medieval world was grey and dull. From bright clothing and painted houses to decorated furniture and colourful markets, everyday medieval life was far more vivid than you might think.
