Thirteenth Century England X

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]. <I>Thirteenth Century England X</I> 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 <I>Roman de Brut</I> [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].
