@medievodons, does anyone know about in England? I read that a coveted royal licence of 'free warren' was required to keep & hunt rabbits. However, the accounts of the record in 1338/9 the receipt of rabbits from various manors which had no such licence. More details available but... would the rabbits have been caught legally? on what terms? or domesticated? Thoughts welcome!

🐰 Some of my rabbit questions have been answered! & now I will look out for pillow mounds in the archaeological landscape, & recognise them in medieval manuscripts, thanks to this article by Haydn Brown: https://norfolktalesmyths.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/the-rabbit-in-east-anglia-revisited/
& its main source, the linked paper by Mark Bailey, 'The Rabbit and the Medieval East Anglian Economy'. Good reading! 🕳️ 🐇
