Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In the first decade of the 14th century Andrew de Medsted, an obscure member of a Hampshire gentry family, established himself in Sussex, perhaps under the tutelage of the FitzAlan earls of Arundel. Serving as sheriff in 1323–5 and knighted in 1327, Sir Andrew established a respectable estate in the eastern half of the county, including the manor of Charleston in Firle. The holding was consolidated by his more martial descendants, who remained important members of the local gentry community until the family’s disappearance in the middle of the 15th century. The origins of the Medsteds, their territorial enterprises and the local and national interests of the family are considered in detail. | ||||||
