This unique study is based on the careful interpretation of
evidence in the commercial and administrative records of the City
and in the royal records, of the process by which London developed
from a commune of a feudal kingdom into the capital city of the
English nation. The period covered is the century and a half
between 1191 and the beginnings of the Hundred Years' War. Leading
themes are the emergence of its administrative elite, the changing
pattern of its mercantile interests, and the rise of its craft
organizations; and a detailed account is given of the social and
constitutional conflicts that marked London's history between the
popular revolt of 1263 and the succession of Edward III. A notable
feature of this volume is the reconstruction from teh records of a
large number of outline biographies of Londoners of all classes.
This book was first published in 1963.
