- Description
- Extant manorial accounts representing over two hundred different demesnes in Norfolk (from the period 1250-1449) suggest that Oswald the Reeve's dwelling and husbandry were based on a specific landscape and rural economy that would have been recognizable to many in Chaucer's audience.
