The fruits of new research on the politics, society and culture of
England in the fourteenth century. The essays collected here engage
with many of the most important themes and subjects of the period.
In addition to addressing matters of kingship and changing theories
of power, they tackle questions concerning loyalty and rebellion at
the centre of authority and on its margins; the role of law, both
domestic and international; the nature of memory - legal,
historical and fabricated; and the relationship between the
Plantagenets and the rulers of those nations and territories over
which England claimed dominion. In so doing, the collection offers
important new insights into political and social developments at
times of major turmoil, including Edward I's war with Scotland, the
deposition of Edward II, and the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, while
also exploring the mechanisms used to ensure peace and the
smooth-running of a kingdom during a time of immense change. DAVID
