Présentation de l'éditeur
The present study in English municipal history was undertaken at the suggestion of the late Professor Charles Gross of Harvard University, and completed under the direction of Professor Edward P. Cheyney, of the University of Pennsylvania. Association with the former remains a source of inspiration to every student fortunate enough to have come in contact with one whose scholarly attainments never obscured the sympathetic friend, the courteous gentleman; to the latter the writer is happy to be able to make his sincere acknowledgment for helpful counsel and suggestion placed so unreservedly at his disposal. Long ago honest Madox wrote that Whoso desireth to discourse in a proper manner concerning corporate towns and communities must take in a great variety of matter, and should be allowed a great deal of time and preparation. The results attained in this investigation are disappointingly meagre compared with the amount of labor involved. So far as the number of town and county histories is concerned, their name is legion; from a slender portion only however of the many volumes consulted has it been possible to obtain any precise information touching the political history of the boroughs in the period under consideration. Happily the old-fashioned method of treating local history is being superseded more and more by the printing of town records, and a number of excellent studies of this character have been made available; the more important of these have been noted in the bibliography.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the political allegiances of English towns and cities during the Wars of the Roses (1455-1485). The author argues that the townspeople were not as passive and indifferent as historians have assumed, and that many of them were deeply involved in the conflict. The book draws on a wealth of primary sources, including town records, chronicles, and letters, to provide a detailed account of the towns' roles in the war. The author shows that the townspeople were motivated by a variety of factors, including self -interest, loyalty to their lords, and religious beliefs. He also argues that the towns' choices often had a significant impact on the course of the war. This book is a major contribution to our understanding of the Wars of the Roses, and it sheds important light on the role of towns in medieval English society.
