About This Book

The book presents a compact narrative of England's political and institutional development from its earliest recorded origins through the medieval period to the close of the Middle Ages. It traces successive regimes and constitutional changes while examining relations between crown, church, and society, and the effects of warfare, governance, and legal institutions on national life. Literary and intellectual currents are discussed only insofar as they illuminate political movements. The text is written for students, avoiding excessive detail and employing clear exposition, summaries, and numerous illustrations to aid comprehension.
