Again Congratulations - I hope and expect you will both experience so much joy.

This is another excellent suite of arguments covering an area I am not familiar with giving much more "warp and weft" to the case for criticality of the wool industry to the english economy.

Di and I were discussing yesterday ( as couples do) what life was really like for ordinary folks in the late medieval period as the only accounts we have require ( by definition) writing skills. The case you make for Henry VIIs use of even more oppressive labour laws to ensure civil order is a convincing one and would have made life in the late C15 even less joyful.

Keep up the excellent work

Steve
