This important exploration of the reign of Edward I - one of
England's most lionised, feared and successful monarchs - presents
his kingship in a radical new light. Through detailed case studies
of Shropshire, Warwickshire and Kent, Caroline Burt examines how
Edward's governance at a national level was reflected in different
localities. She employs novel methodology to measure levels of
disorder and the effects of government action, and uncovers a
remarkably sophisticated approach to governance. This study
combines an empirical examination of government with an
understanding of developing political ideas and ideological
motivation, and contributes towards a greater understanding of the
development of local government and politics in England in the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Edward emerges as a king with
a coherent set of ideas about the governance of his realm, both
intellectually and practically, whose achievements were even more
remarkable than has previously been recognised.
