Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an overview of Kingston upon Thames' history and notable events that have shaped its development. The town's strategic location on the River Thames has contributed to its growth as a trading hub in the 12th century and made it a popular leisure destination for London residents seeking respite from the city during the 18th century. The author utilizes a collection of ancient texts, such as manorial court records and overseers' accounts, to piece together an informative snapshot of Kingston's past. Detailed accounts of the town's medieval charters, which protected its citizens from arrest and prosecution beyond Kingston's boundaries, are explored alongside stories of prominent historical events, such as the great council Henry V held in Kingston in 1467 to secure the hand of Margaret of Anjou in marriage. This book will appeal to readers interested in the rich history of Kingston upon Thames, its key role in the English civil war and the intriguing characters who played a part in its story.
