    The Medieval Hierarchy Series was initiated as a result of looking into my own family's medieval history. I noticed the strong links created between the families of the Earls of Devon, Gloucester, Leicester and others. I hope that this Series will be extended by the inclusion of many additional families, particularly those of Devon and the West Country, regardless of their importance in the Medieval Hierarchy.
