Description
Summary:Harding reevaluates Gui De Warewic. She narrates that prior to 1975, the accepted date of composition for the Anglo-Norman Gui de Warewic was 1232-42, using the dates between Thomas, 6th Earl of Warwick's inheritance of Osney Abbey and his death. Recent genealogical work, however, suggests that both timelines are unfounded. Rosie Bevan in 2004 proposed a revised Warwick genealogy that places Margery d'Oilly instead a generation earlier. Bevan's correction solves several contortions in the genealogical records. This new twist on the family tree opens up several directions for again revisiting how people date Gui de Warewic.
