The Soldier in later Medieval England
The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) of the U.K. has awarded a Research Grant worth just under £500,000 to Dr Adrian Bell of the ICMA Centre and Professor Anne Curry of the University of Southampton to challenge assumptions about the emergence of professional soldiery between 1369 and 1453. More about this project and its databases can be found on their website
The project has an innovative methodological approach and will be producing an on-line searchable resource for public use of immense value and interest to genealogists as well as social, political and military historians. The project employs two Research Assistants over three years and also includes one Doctoral Research Studentship - all of whom began work on 1st October 2006. The whole team is working on a jointly authored book, conference papers, and articles.
This page gives the results of a search on 21 July 2009 of the 3 databases of this project for the surnames of Grave, Graves, Greave, Greaves, Greve, Greves, Greeve, Greeves, Grieve, and Grieves. The only variations found were Grave, Greve, and Greves.
