Synopsis
Many monasteries were endowed with extensive properties to provide sustenance and income for the community. And as they were often wealthier than secular landlords, they were able to make major changes to the surrounding landscape. James Bond reconstructs, among other features, the towns, villages, agriculture, fisheries, and quarries all influenced by monastic power.Book Details
