About This Book

The work traces English political and constitutional developments from the early thirteenth through the fourteenth century, opening with the reassertion of the Charter after a royal succession and civil war, proceeding through baronial revolts, the consolidation of royal administration under Henry III and Edward I, and the evolution of parliamentary practice. It discusses clashes between Crown, barons, church and foreign influence, military and naval campaigns, legal and fiscal reforms, and social unrest culminating in the mid-century popular uprising, while organizing material around biographies of monarchs and thematic chapters on institutions.
