Regional Perspectives on Neolithic Pit Deposition : Beyond the Mundane
ISBN: 9781842174685 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rise to prominence of pits within narratives of the British and Irish Neolithic is well-documented in recent literature. Pits have been cropping up in excavations for centuries, resulting in a very broad spectrum of interpretations but three main factors have led to the recent change in our perception and representation of these features: a broad shift in people's expectations as to what a Neolithic settlement should be; the development of the concept of 'structured deposition', within which pits have played a key role; and a dramatic rise in the number of pits actually known about....

The Parliament Rolls of Medieval England, 1275-1504: XI: Henry VI. 1432-1445
ISBN: 9781843837732 / Angielski / Twarda / 516 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rolls of parliament were the official records of the meetings of the English parliament from the reign of Edward I (1272-1307) until the reign of Henry VII (1485-1509), after which they were superseded by the journals of the lords, and, somewhat later, the commons. This volume covers the last four parliaments of Henry VI's minority (1432-7) and the first three held during his majority (1439-1445). Once the king had come of age, the constitutional need for frequent and regular parliaments subsided. The rolls show clearly the transition towards the king's personal role. The impact of the...

The Parliament Rolls of Medieval England, 1275-1504: X: Henry VI. 1422-1431
ISBN: 9781843837725 / Angielski / Twarda / 490 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rolls of parliament were the official records of the meetings of the English parliament from the reign of Edward I (1272-1307) until the reign of Henry VII (1485-1509), after which they were superseded by the journals of the lords, and, somewhat later, the commons. This volume covers the first nine years of the minority of Henry VI, which saw seven parliaments. This high frequency is linked to the fact that Henry was only nine months old when he became king in 1422. The rolls of this period have much of interest on how government functioned during a minority. Parliament became a crucial...
