A new review of the most significant issues of Edward II's reign.
Edward II presided over a turbulent and politically charged period
of English history, but to date he has been relatively neglected in
comparison to other fourteenth and fifteenth-century kings. This
book offers a significant re-appraisal of a much maligned monarch
and his historical importance, making use of the latest empirical
research and revisionist theories, and concentrating on people and
personalities, perceptions and expectations, rather than dry
constitutional analysis. Papers consider both the institutional and
the personal facets of Edward II's life and rule: his sexual
reputation, the royal court, the role of the king's household
knights, the nature of law and parliament in the reign, and
England's relations with Ireland and Europe. Contributors: J.S.
HAMILTON, W.M. ORMROD, IAN MORTIMER, MICHAEL PRESTWICH, ALISTAIR
TEBBIT, W.R. CHILDS, PAUL DRYBURGH, ANTHONY MUSSON, GWILYM DODD,
ALISON MARSHALL, MARTYN LAWRENCE, SEYMOUR PHILLIPS.
