Loyalty and Locality: Popular Allegiance in Devon During the English Civil War
ISBN: 9780859895002 / Angielski / Miękka / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume is a study of popular behaviour during the English Civil War. The book makes three claims.

The second is that this general rule applied to cities too, and that in urban communities it is possible to discern both 'Royalist' and 'Parliamentarian' parishes. The third is that these internal divisions were not simply temporary alignments, conjured up by extraordinary...
