Opis

The reigns of Edward VI and Mary I remain largely by-passed in naval history, yet it was a vital time for the administration of the navy and it saw the apprenticeship of many who would lead the service in Elizabeth's later years. This volume helps to fill the gap and includes all the extant Treasurer's and Victualler's accounts for the two reigns together with entries taken verbatim from the State Papers which augment the calendar summaries previously published, and correct a good many errors. In addition documents are printed here for the first time from a variety of archives in Britain and abroad.

Editors C.S Knighton and David Loades have brought together an exemplary body of material that reveals the inner working of the navies of King Edward VI and Queen Mary I... The editors are to be commended for providing not only a finely edited collection of primary source material, but for their informed comments on numerous subjects in the introductions and notes.
