Produktbeschreibung

Essays on crucial aspects of late medieval history.

The essays collected here, offered by three generations of his friends and pupils, celebrate the outstanding career of Professor A.J. Pollard and pay tribute to his scholarship and enduring influence in furthering our understanding of late medieval England and France. Drawing inspiration from his own research interests and writing, which illuminated military, political and social interactions of the period, they focus on three main themes. The contrastingstyles of governance adopted by English monarchs from Richard II to Henry VII; the differing responses to civil conflict revealed in a variety of localities; and the lives of men recruited to fight overseas during the Hundred Years' War, and beyond the border with Scotland in later years, are all explored here. These topics take us across England from the far north to the Channel, to London, the south-west and the Welsh lordship of Gower, while on the wayalso examining how townsmen resisted taxation, the gentry administered their estates and the western marches were ruled.

LINDA CLARK is Editor Emeritus at the History of Parliament; PETER FLEMING is Professor Emerius,University of the West of England.
