The nine essays in this volume by Elizabeth Brown deal with the
development of representative institutions and monarchial power in
Capetian France. One topic covered is that of the evolution of
central assemblies, with case studies of the assemblies held
between 1316 and 1321 illuminating the impact of theory on
practice. A second topic is that of the moral implications of
fiscality and of the attempts by French monarchs to regulate their
policies by the teachings of moral philosophy. A particular theme
is the Capetians' insistence on reform as a central theme of good
government, and their successes and failures living up to their
principles. The articles also examine the realm's reactions to the
monarchy's ideals and principles, emphasizing and attempting to
account for the differences in attitude to government on the part
of the ruler and ruled that distinguished medieval France and
England.
