@medievodons, does anyone know about #rabbits in #14thCentury England? I read that a coveted royal licence of 'free warren' was required to keep & hunt rabbits. However, the accounts of the #LadyOfClare record in 1338/9 the receipt of rabbits from various manors which had no such licence. More details available but... would the rabbits have been caught legally? on what terms? or domesticated? Thoughts welcome! #medieval#rabbit#question
#otd 1126 died Bertrand of Comminges, bishop of Comminges. Quickly began his veneration as a saint. In the 15th c., this mausuleum was built, which is also the high altar of the church of Notre-Dame de Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges. #medievaldeath#medieval@medievodons
