"Crown and Nobility" traces the development of the relationship
between kings and nobles in late medieval England. It shows how the
differing abilities and personalities of the late medieval English
kings powerfully affected their relationship with the nobility. The
author examines the contrast between the dominant style of Edward I
and both the weakness of Edward II and the chivalric reputation of
Edward III, and reveals how the ineptitude of Henry VI did much to
provoke the political crisis of the mid-fifteenth century, which
led to the downfall of the House of Lancaster.
Much of the political history of late medieval England was
played out against a background of war, and Anthony Tuck vividly
describes the Welsh and Scottish wars, the great victories in
France, and the final debacle under Henry VI. He shows how success
and setback in war crucially affected the relationship between the
king and his nobles.
For this new edition the author has revised the original text to

epilog discussing historiographical developments since the book was
first published. There is also an enlarged and updated
bibliography.

Journey Beyond the Narrows explores the history of an American
family whose origin is traced to eleven immigrants who arrived in
America in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. These individuals
came through the Narrows into upper New York Harbor to begin their
American journey. They were escaping famine in Ireland, poverty,
political oppression, or lack of opportunity-or all three combined
in Finland, Germany, and Scotland. Journey Beyond the Narrows does
not provide just names and facts about these individuals but puts
their lives in the context of the times in which they lived in
their home countries and in America. It is the story of how two of
their descendants reared six children in the Bronx, New York.
Approximately three fifths of the emigration from the United
Kingdom to America arrived in the 19th century. The remainder came
through Ellis Island between 1900 and 1924. Arrivals from the U.K.
began to increase in the mid-1840's with the Irish Famine that led
to very high mortality rates, rising prices and unemployment and a
massive outflow of Irish population to the U.S. In the post-Famine
period, England's industrial revolution progressed and emigration
continued to grow between the prosperous 1850's and the mid-1890's.
This series on Emigration from the United Kingdom to America
concentrates on U.K. emigration in the period 1870-1897, listing
migrants from the U.K. who arrived in New York. The original
passenger lists transcribed by shipping agents and ship's officers
and filed by all vessels entering U.S. ports have been used in the
preparation of Emigration from the United Kingdom to America.
Presented in chronological order by each ship's date of arrival,
these passenger lists provide the names of ships, ports of
departure, and arrival and debarkation dates. The researcher can
also locate data regarding a person's age, sex, and occupation, as
well as village of origin and destination when reported. An
important feature of Emigration from the United Kingdom to America
is the extensive surname index of ships' passengers included in
each volume. These indexes, containing approximately 3 million
names for the period 1870-1897, will greatly facilitate the task of
finding an ancestor's family name, especially when the exact date
or port of arrival in the United States is unknown. In addition to
the passenger lists and name indexes, Emigration from the United
Kingdom to America includes an introduction to the history of the
U.K. migratory movement to the U.S. This series is an invaluable
reference work for anyone interested in studying family history or
in genealogical research.
This book provides a political narrative of the rise and fall of
the Tudor monarchy - key to understanding the history of the years
1450 to 1660. The theme is the relationship between the Crown and
the aristocracy and how a partnership was created partly by the
actions of the Crown and partly by the changing composition and
attitudes of the political nation. It begins with the chaos of
factional quarrels which was the political life of England under
Henry VI in the 1450s and then examines the rebuilding of the
strength of royal government under Edward IV, Henry VII and Henry
VIII. That government was tested in various ways under Edward VI
and Mary, reached its peak under Elizabeth, and declined under
James I. The partnership finally broke down in the civil war of the
1640s and the Tudor monarchy collapsed. This is the life cycle of a
political system created out of necessity and fashioned by a
mixture of vision and circumstance. After its collapse the Republic
failed to create a viable alternative, but the resurrection of the
old system after 1660 was more apparent than real.
