The themes of authority and subversion explored in relation to
royal power, orthodox religion, and violence and disorder. The
essays in this volume explore themes long seen as central to the
history of late medieval England and Europe. They examine the
strength of opposition to Henry IV's usurpation, the nature and
extent of the lollards' resistanceto orthodox religion, and the
contrasting causes of violence and disorder in the remote border
regions at opposite ends of the country, in Cornwall and in the
north-west. Subversion of its authority might be counteracted by a
regime which recognized the importance of pageantry to bolster its
public profile, while a complex weave of patronage, private
interest and dedicated service enabled the Exchequer to function
through periods of financial crisis. Relations between the Crown
and urban centres, potentially a cause of tension, were eased by an
emerging body of professional urban law-officers prepared to act as
intermediaries. Contributors: PETER BOOTH, CLIVE BURGESS, KEITH
