<< The subject of "wait people" brought a question to my mind: do we have a
good source which lists the assorted servants, servers, butlers, cooks, etc.
in a period household? I've seem smidgeons of this information here and
there, but would love to have (or put together) some kind of semi-solid
list. >>
The book I mentioned in another thread, The Great Household in Late Medeival
England, by C. M. Woolgar, goes into some detail on this subject, including
the numbers of servants employed in different households, and what their
wages were.
