"This series [pushes] the boundaries of knowledge and [develops]
new trends in approach and understanding." ENGLISH HISTORICAL
REVIEW The essays in this volume explore relationships in all their
different guises and expressions. Hostility between England and
France cast a long shadow over the fifteenth century and beyond.
While warfare at sea and the composition of the army which invaded
Normandy in 1417 left extensive administrative records, sources of
a different nature highlight the experiences of the French and
Burgundians. The experience of the incursion of Henry VIII's forces
in 1513 found expression in widely-distributed poems; while verses
celebrating the births of heirs to the Hapsburg duke of Burgundy
sought to allay fears over a change of regime by stressing the
benefits of their multinational heritage. Portraits of rulers of
Italian states emphasised the emergence of a shared courtly culture
between England and Italy by commemorating their election as
Knights of the Garter, while the records of Bishop's Lynn testify
to the harmonious integration of immigrants from the Low Countries
and Baltic regions. The Magna Carta of 1215 - intended to place the
relationship between ruler and ruled on a new footing - had a long
after-life, providing a blue-print for practices adopted by the
Appellants of 1388 and being cited at the deposition of Richard II,
only to be eclipsed in the late fifteenth century when depositions
focused instead on challenges to the monarch's title. Poor records
of the meetings of convocations have led to undue emphasis on their
role in granting subsidies, but a register at Canterbury presents a
different picture by revealing business of the southern convocation
of 1462.
