This book for the first time gathers together an immense amount of historical material, drawing on sources from contemporary to modern times, and incorporating unique research. Among this is the discovery of a highly significent tradition preserved in the Tyrell family, which encouraged the author to investigate papers and Tyrell wills not examined before.
