Life on a Medieval Barony, by William Stearns Davis, Part 1

Let's sink into slumber with this dreamy description of life in medieval France circa 1220. This time, the background of the barony in question and the somewhat circuitous route of acquisition by its ruling family. Spoiler alert, not wandering off for years on a crusade seems to help with the whole "keeping your property" thing.   Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener-supported!
