Opis

Eleven papers, from a 15th-century conference held at Southampton in 1999, examine evidence for conspicuous consumption, the redistribution of power and the political revolution that forcibly removed Richard II from the throne. Contributors focus on the social and political implications of the overindulgence of the nobility and clergy, Richard II's knightly household, administrative and economic records, Middlesex, Wessex, trade in Cambridge, the impact of St Swithun's Priory on Winchester and the estates of Richard of York.
