War, Government and Aristocracy in the British Isles, c.1150-1500
Essays in Honour of Michael Prestwich
Edited by Chris Given-Wilson Edited by Ann Kettle Edited by Len Scales
Crown-magnate relations, the Anglo-Scottish, Anglo-French and Anglo-Irish wars, national and local finance and administration and the nature of late medieval kingship are among the principal themes explored in this volume, along with aristocratic consumption, historical writing, chivalric culture and a review of recent work on crusading history. All newly commissioned from distinguished scholars, they shed new light on late medieval British political, military and governmental history.
