Description: This volume incorporates a series of essays which, from varying perspectives, shed considerable light on the history of northern England during a period which witnessed dramatic developments in the government, religion and society of the region. Topics covered include the patterns of patronage and power in northern governance in both town and countryside, the governmental integration of northern England, the place of the north in Anglo-Scottish relations, the distinctive character of northern society, ecclesiastical appointments, the consequences of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and the role of women in border society and the religious life of the north. The papers cross conventional dividing lines in history in an attempt to provide a more effective survey of a vital period in the development of the north.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
Papers originally presented at a conference held April 10-12, 1995 at the Liverpool Institute of Higher Education.
