Golding tells the story of an emerging sport that had faded from history after the fall of the Roman Empire. He writes about the "old Time" fighters who helped develop the prize ring in England during the 18th century. He describes in detail some of those early bare knuckle fights including Mendoza vs. Humphreys, George Stevenson vs. Jack Broughton, and the classic battle of Tom Sayers Vs. John Heenan. He also talks about the fights between Tom Cribb and Tom Molyneux. Molyneux a former slave would fight for the championship of England, almost a 100 years before Jack Johnson would become the first black heavyweight champion.

Sir William Dugdale (1605-1686) was born in Warwickshire, and became a noted antiquary, herald, and historian. He would study at the libraries of Oxford, which would lay the foundation for the information in the present work. However, before his Baronage of England would be published, he would produce his massive Monastican Anglicanun. The first volume of the Latin edition was published in 1655. The Baronage of England first appeared in 1676, and was a history of English aristocracy from Saxon times. It is considered an important work of genealogical scholarship.Sir William… Read More
