Opis

Ranging broadly between the years 1000 and 1400, Richard Kaeuper assesses the impact of war and lawmaking on the evolution of the royal governments of England and France. From the economic and political costs of war and the development of royal justice, to the crown's attempts to control private violence and the relationship between public opinion and government action, his book provides thorough coverage of issues of central importance in late medieval history.

Recenzje

'stimulating and informative ... Because the examination of the interaction of such momentous forces as war, centralization of authority, maintenance of order, administration of justice, and provision of security is so thorough and so acute this study will also furnish valuable insights to those primarily interested in the history of other times and other places.'
