List of nobles and magnates of England in the 13th century. During the 13th century England was partially ruled by Archbishops, Bishops, Earls (Counts), Barons, marcher Lords, and knights. All of these except for the knights would always hold most of their fiefs as tenant in chief.
The final years of the thirteenth century had seen a dramatic fall-off in the upper level of the nobility, as six earls had died from 1295 to 1298. The earldoms of Hereford and Essex , Hertford and Gloucester , [a] Lancaster , Oxford and Warwick had been filled by 1300, while that of Pembroke had to wait until 1307.

It is often wrongly assumed that knighthoods and life peerages cannot grant hereditary nobility. The bestowal of a peerage or a knighthood is seen as due reason for a grant of arms by Garter King of Arms or Lord Lyon, and thus, those who make use of it attain hereditary nobility. The eldest son of a Knight and his eldest sons in perpetuity attain t...

Early English period
Early Anglo-Saxons used the Old English word eorl to distinguish nobles from the free, non-noble population called ceorls. By the 8th century, the word gesith had replaced eorl as the common term for a nobleman. A gesith could be either an estate-holder or a retainer in a lord or king's comitatus. By serving a lord (Old English: hlaford, literally "bread-giver"), gesith gained protection (mund) and rewards of gold and silver. Young nobles were raised with the sons of kings to someday become t...
Norman period
The Norman Conquest of 1066 marked the creation of a new, French-speaking Anglo-Norman aristocracy with estates in both Normandy and England. This cross-Channel aristocracy also included smaller groups originating from other parts of France, such as Brittany, Boulogne, and Flanders. When William I (r. 1066–1087) confiscated the property of the old Anglo-Saxon nobility, he kept 17 percent of the land as his royal demesne (now the Crown Estate). The rest was given to the Conqueror's companions...

By 1300, the knightly class or gentry numbered around 3,000 landholders. Half of these were dubbed knights, while the other half were styled esquire.

There was overlap between this group and the "lesser barons".[note 1] The baronage (including barons, earls, and high-ranking churchmen) had a duty as tenants-in-chief to provide the king with advice when summoned to great councils. In the 1200s, the great council evolved into Par...

Nobility and Kingship in Medieval England is a major new account of the relationship between Edward I and his earls, and of the role of the English nobility in thirteenth-century governance.
Monasteries and churches flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries. New religious foundations such as almshouses and hospitals cared for the poor and sick. Towns grew in size and autonomy, as the old divisions between Normans and the English began to break down.
Yet England in the 13th century was in no sense lawless. If anything, it was one of the most deeply governed places on earth. From at least the time of Alfred the Great (A.D. 871-899) and...
