Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed exploration of wills and abstracts in Lincolnshire, England during a crucial period of transition between the 16th and 17th centuries. The author, a distinguished historian, takes readers on a journey through the lives of notable Lincolnshire families, providing a rare glimpse into their social and economic circumstances. Originally published in two series, this volume delves into the second, covering the years 1600-1617. It reveals the changing nature of society as feudalism waned and a robust middle class emerged, reshaping the county's landed gentry. In addition to presenting 52 abstracts of wills, the author provides a comprehensive analysis of the rise and fall of prominent families, examining the factors that contributed to their success or decline. This book not only illuminates the history of Lincolnshire's gentry, but also offers insights into the broader social and economic transformations taking place in England during a period of profound change.
