"Crown and Nobility" traces the development of the relationship
between kings and nobles in late medieval England. It shows how the
differing abilities and personalities of the late medieval English
kings powerfully affected their relationship with the nobility. The
author examines the contrast between the dominant style of Edward I
and both the weakness of Edward II and the chivalric reputation of
Edward III, and reveals how the ineptitude of Henry VI did much to
provoke the political crisis of the mid-fifteenth century, which
led to the downfall of the House of Lancaster.
Much of the political history of late medieval England was
played out against a background of war, and Anthony Tuck vividly
describes the Welsh and Scottish wars, the great victories in
France, and the final debacle under Henry VI. He shows how success
and setback in war crucially affected the relationship between the
king and his nobles.
For this new edition the author has revised the original text to
take account of recent scholarship. The book now includes a new
epilog discussing historiographical developments since the book was
first published. There is also an enlarged and updated
bibliography.
