A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

As in previous volumes of this well-established series, most papers are concerned with the political, social, cultural, economic and ecclesiastical history of England during a 'long' thirteenth century [c 1180 - c 1330]. Thirteenth Century England X contains papers on crown finances [Nick Barratt], grants of markets and fairs [Emilia Jamroziak], royal stewards of alien origin [Michael Ray], the aftermath of the Barons' War [Susan Stewart], the readership of Wace's Roman de Brut [Françoise Le Saux], Robert de Chaury bishop of Carlisle [Henry Summerson], authority in Yorkshire nunneries [Janet Burton], and taxation and settlement in Devon [Harold Fox]. There are three papers on various aspects of the reign of Edward II and its aftermath [David Crook, Alistair Tebbit and Seymour Phillips]. The volume also follows the tradition of the series by looking beyond England, with papers on the role of Joan, wife of Llywelyn the Great in Anglo-Welsh relations [Louise J. Wilkinson], on the city of Dublin's relations with the crown [Seán Duffy], and on English landholding in Ireland [Beth Hartland]. The continental connection is represented by a comparison of aspects of English and French kingship in the time of Henry III and Louis IX [David Carpenter].

DAVID CROOK, now retired, spent his working life in The National Archives, where he became immersed in the extensive surviving early records of the English royal administration and common law. From those sources have emerged important findings which may identify a real criminal as the original of the legendary English outlaw Robin Hood.

HENRY SUMMERSON was awarded his Ph.D. by Cambridge University for a thesis on crime and law enforcement in England, 1227-1263. He has continued to work in this field, publishing numerous articles on aspects of medieval criminality, and editions, alone or in collaboration, of three crown pleas rolls, for Devon in 1238, Wiltshire in 1268 and Lancashire in 1292.
