Dear Mr. Cornwell,
I’m currently doing some research for a book I’m writing. Specifically, I’m looking into how the Medieval English nobility came into being (especially the position of “Earl” which I’m given to understand predates most of the other titles) in the period before the Norman conquest but after the Roman Empire retreated from Britain. However, I’m having a little bit of trouble finding sources. And I was wondering if you could point me to any you might be aware of.
My sincere gratitude,
Marco
