Hoppenbrouwers (eds.), Landholding and land transfer in the North Sea area (late Middle Ages – 19th century), CORN Publication Series 5 (Turnhout, 2004). The topic is also central to the European workgroup ‘Landed property’ of COST Action A35 (Programme for the Study of European Rural Societies).

2 We hope to present a more elaborated introduction to themes germane to this topic and to the broader topic of factor markets – the markets of land, labour and capital – in a future number of Continuity and Change, offering regional overviews of these factors markets in different parts of the world.
