One group of essays deals with the embellishments of lordship, both architectural and heraldic, studying residences and also developments in armour. A second group concerns ideals which motivated the aristocracy of western Europe, from the late 10th to the 15th centuries: romances, the Peace movement of Aquitaine, holy war, and loyalty. Concentration on rationalism and free will in the writings of the cultural circle which revolved around Sir John Fastolf is identified as an important element in the development of the English Renaissance. Dr CHRISTOPHER HARPER-BILL is Principal Lecturer in History, St Mary's College, Strawberry Hill; Dr RUTH HARVEY is lecturer in French, Royal Holloway and Bedford New College.
