Description: "The fourteen studies in this book, by distinguished medievalists working in the same fields of late medieval British political, military and governmental history as Michael Prestwich, take up many of. the themes which have marked his contribution to historical scholarship." "Crown-magnate relations, the Anglo-Scottish, Anglo-French and Anglo-Irish wars, national and local finance and administration, and the nature of late medieval kingship are among the principal themes explored here, along with aristocratic consumption, historical writing, chivalric culture and a review of recent work on crusading history."--Jacket.
