Description
A major new account of the relationship between Edward I and his earls in medieval England challenges traditional interpretations of his reign. Andrew M. Spencer's study reveals how nobles created local followings and exercised power at a local level, transforming our understanding of politics and kingship in thirteenth-century England. By examining key earldoms such as Lincoln, Lancaster, Cornwall, and Warenne, the book sheds new light on the role of the English nobility in governance during this period. Spencer's powerful revisionist perspective presents a significant new statement about thirteenth-century politics, one that will be of interest to historians and scholars. This book offers a fresh perspective on a key period in English history, drawing from a range of sources to create a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between crown and nobility during Edward I's reign.
