This book examines the organisation of power and society in
north-east England over two crucial centuries in the emergence of
the English 'state'. England is usually regarded as medieval
Europe's most centralised kingdom, yet the North-East was dominated
by liberties--largely self-governing jurisdictions--that greatly
restricted the English crown's direct authority in the region.
These local polities receive here their first comprehensive
discussion; and their histories are crucial for understanding
questions of state-formation in frontier zones, regional
distinctiveness, and local and national loyalties.
