This is a comprehensive account of politics, government and society
in thirteenth-century England. Three episodes stand out: the revolt
of the barons against King John in 1215, the protest against the
misgovernment of Henry III which began in 1258, and the resistance
to the demands of Edward I on the resources of the land which came
to a head in 1297. Professor Harding places these political events
in the context of social and economic change, in order to provide a
rounded account of the century. The introduction demonstrates the
constitutional importance given by past historians to the period
which saw the framing of the Magna Carta and the beginnings of
Parliament and statute law. The central chapters describe the
developing social structure of peasants, townsmen and professional
people, knights, clergy and lay magnates. The book finally sees the
politics of the century in terms of royal ambitions to dominate
Britain and to play a leading role in Europe.
