Free warren

The article says: "To establish a deer park, a license was required from the King - free warren", but is that right? You needed an imparkment license, but is that the same as free warren? I don't think so, but I'm not sure enough to edit the article. --Northernhenge (talk) 16:41, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Medieval?

Why medieval? E.g. in Poland or Czech Republic, you can find out such areas.--Juandev (talk) 15:35, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs a different title. It's only about deer parks in England, without being introduced as such, and it covers their history well into the early modern era. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 21:24, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strange omission

A lot of deer parks disappeared in the English Civil War because their royal or noble owners could no longer protect them from the hatred that local rural commoners had toward them. (After that, upper-class hunters changed their main target from deer to foxes.) It's rather odd that this article seems to obfuscate all conflict and violence, attributing the decline of deer parks merely to changing upper class fashions... AnonMoos (talk) 02:32, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@AnonMoos It would be good to add that to the article, if you can find some reliable sources to support it: do you know of any good books/articles that describe this? ‑‑Yodin^T 08:26, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having difficulty finding a source mainly devoted to the decline and fall of deer parks right now. In chapter 3 of Christopher Hill's "The World Turned Upside Down" there's a discussion about how rural commoners hated Forest Laws and appropriations of large areas of land for upper-class pursuits generally. On JSTOR there's a scholarly journal article (which I can't access) about the Great Deer Massacre of 1642, which apparently took place in an area which was technically legally not a deer park (though very similar in purpose)...

@AnonMoos can you access WP:The Wikipedia Library? It looks like you'd be able to get the JSTOR article that way; otherwise WP:WikiProject Resource Exchange might be able to get you a copy. ‑‑Yodin^T 09:02, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
