This series [pushes] the boundaries of knowledge and [develops] new
trends in approach and understanding. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW For
four decades, Michael Hicks has been a figure central to the study
of fifteenth-century England. His scholarly output is remarkable
both for its sheer bulk and for the diversity of the fields it
covers. This extraordinary breadth is reflected by the variety of
subjects covered by the papers in the present volume, offered to
Professor Hicks by friends, colleagues and former students to mark
his retirement from the University of Winchester. Fifteenth-century
royalty, nobility and gentry, long at the heart of his own work,
naturally take centre stage, but his contribution to economic and
regional history, both in the early part of his career as a
research fellow at the Victoria County History and more recently as
director of a succession of major research projects, is also
reflected in the essays presented here. The individual
contributions are populated by some of the major characters of
Yorkist England, many of them made household names by Professor
Hicks's own writings - King Edward IV and his mistresses; the
Neville earls of Warwick and Salisbury; the Stafford, Herbert,
Percy, Tiptoft and de Vere earls of Devon, Pembroke,Northumberland,
Worcester and Oxford - while the themes covered span the full
panoply of medieval life: from treason to trade, warfare to
widowhood and lordship to law enforcement. Equally broad is the
papers' geographical spread,covering regions from Catalonia to
Normandy, from Hampshire to Yorkshire and from Worcestershire and
the Welsh marches to East Anglia. Contributors: Anne Curry,
Christopher Dyer, Peter Fleming, Ralph Griffiths, JohnHare,
Winifred Harwood, Matthew Holford, Hannes Kleineke, Gordon
McKelvie, Mark Page, Simon Payling, A.J. Pollard, James Ross, Karen
Stoeber, Anne F. Sutton
