This is a new interpretation of English politics during the
extended period beginning with the majority of Henry VI in c. 1437
up to the accession of Henry VII in 1509. The later fifteenth
century in England is a somewhat baffling and apparently incoherent
period which historians and history students have found
consistently difficult to handle. The large-scale 'revisionism'
inspired by the classic work of K. B. McFarlane led to the first
real work on politics, both national and local, but has left the
period in a disjointed state: much material has been unearthed, but
without any real sense of direction or coherence. This book places
the events of the century within a clearly delineated framework of
constitutional structures, practices and expectations, in an
attempt to show the meaning of the apparently frenetic and
purposeless political events which occurred within that framework -
and which sometimes breached it. At the same time it takes
cognisance of all the work that has been done on the period,
including recent and innovative work on Henry VI.
