Full Description

Originally published in 1935, this book presents English constitutional documents from the period 1307 to 1485 organised into three main sections: central government, the church and local government. These sections are subdivided into smaller categories, such as 'The Crown' and 'Parliament', with each category containing a brief editorial introduction. A complete list of documents used is included at the beginning of the text, and extensive notes are incorporated throughout. Glossaries of French and Latin words are also provided. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in medieval history and the development of the English constitution.
