Medieval Cooking

For those who like to become immersed in the history & culture of the medieval period besides history books, Renaissance fairs, and biographies there are cookbooks which try to bring the “flavor” of living in the past.  Here are three books which may be of interest not only for their reading but also for the more adventurous provides recipes of times past.

TO THE KING’S TASTE. RICHARD II’S BOOK OF FEASTS AND RECIPES ADAPTED FOR MODERN COOKING, by Lorna J. Sass.

 

THE DELECTABLE PAST. THE JOYS OF THE TABLE FROM HOME TO THE RENAISSANCE, FROM QUEEN ELIZABETH I TO MRS. BEETON, THE MENUS, THE MANNERS…, by Esther B. Aresty.

 

SAVORING THE PAST. FRENCH KITCHEN AND TABLE FROM 1300 TO 1789, by Barbara Ketcham Wheaton.

Another more general book is FOOD IN HISTORY (revised), by Reay Tannahill. Tells you why/how certain food or dishes came about.

Good reading and good eats.

According to the experts the crem de la crem references of royal genealogy are the 2 books by Weis : The MAGNA CHARTA SURETEES and ANCESTRAL ROOTS OF CERTAIN AMERICAN COLONISTS               and

 

 THE COMPLETE PEERAGE--- These sources give meticulous and detailed reference to primary documents.To link yourself with a royal ancestor, start with your own birth certificate, Then get documents that support EACH generation, one by one,past you until you get to your gateway ancestor. Most colonial families that were of prominence, would have a multitude of genealogies already written about them that would carry their lines back to a gateway ancestor. Then prove the parentage of your gateway ancestor, If there is a royal ancestor, you will no doubt reach gentry before you reach nobility,  The gentry were often the YOUNGER sons of the nobility. Only the OLDEST sons inherit the title of SIR. Before you reach nobility, you will probably go through several generations of gentry.. Once you reach an oldest son of a noble, you will go through several generations of nobility and THEN you MAY reach that generation who was an illigitimate son of a king. Kings frequently gave their illigitimate sons Earldoms.

My gateway ancestor Roger Mallory was mentioned in TWO wills in England ; those of his father and his uncle, both of whom were Church of England Clergymen. The above mentioned sources carried the lineage back to royalty.

My 4 greats grandfather Edwin Boyd Jackson (1782-1855) was accepted as a qualifying ancestor for the Society of the War of 1812 on May 24, 2011. His son Lilburn Jackson, a Tennessee magistrate, fathered a Black son Alex Jackson (1848-1876). Edwins wife Jane Penick Jackson (1784-1840) was a granddaughter of Mary Mallory Penick (1729-1803), a great granddaughter of a Yorkshire immigrant, Roger Mallory (1635-1707). Roger was the son of the Rev. Thomas Mallory Jr, (1605-1671) the son of the Very Rev. Thomas Mallory Sr. (1566-1644) Dean of Chester. Dean Mallory was the son of a Knight Sir William Mallory (1530-1603), Lord of Studley. Through the Fitzhughes and Marmion families, Sir William Mallory was descended from King John (1167-1216)

Robin,

Here are a few books on the subject -

GENERAL “HOW TO” OR BACKGROUND INFO:

Bird, Jack. "Some Sources for French Genealogy and Heraldry." The Genealogists' Magazine 13:8 (December 1960): 237-241.

Bouchard, Constance B. "Consanguinity and Noble Marriages in the Tenth and Eleventh Centuries." Speculum 56:2 (1981): 268-287.

Interesting discussion of consanguinity among the nobility and the impact of the Catholic Church's changing rules.　 Consanguinity often becomes a crucial issue when trying to untangle possible relationships among Medieval people.

Chambers, Paul. Medieval genealogy: how to find your medieval ancestors .

Durye, Pierre (trans. By Wilson Ober Clough). Genealogy: an introduction to continental concepts. New Orleans: Polyanthos, 1977.

Lart, Charles E. "French Noblesse." The Genealogists' Magazine 7:5 (March 1936): 229-242.

Rye, Walter. Records & record searching: a guide to the genealogist & topographer

Sheppard, Jr., Walter Lee. Feudal genealogy .
