English Government in the Thirteenth Century
The Boydell Press (Verlag)
978-1-84383-056-6 (ISBN)
The size and jurisdiction of English royal government underwent sustained development in the thirteenth century, an understanding of which is crucial to a balanced view of medieval English society. The papers here follow three central themes: the development of central government, law and justice, and the crown and the localities. Examined within this framework are bureaucracy and enrolment under John and his contemporaries; the Royal Chancery; the adaptation of the Exchequer in response to the rapidly changing demands of the crown; the introduction of a licensing system for mortmain alienations; the administration of local justice; women as sheriffs; and a Nottinghamshire study examining the tensions between the role of the king as manorial lord and as monarch.

ANTHONY MUSSON is Head of Research at Historic Royal Palaces. DAVID CROOK, now retired, spent his working life in The National Archives, where he became immersed in the extensive surviving early records of the English royal administration and common law. From those sources have emerged important findings which may identify a real criminal as the original of the legendary English outlaw Robin Hood. LOUISE J. WILKINSON is Professor of Medieval Studies, University of Lincoln. NICHOLAS VINCENT is Professor of Medieval History at the University of East Anglia and a Fellow of the British Academy
