  • The University of Oxford

    Open AccessJ R MaddicottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    L.W.B. Brockliss has written an exceptionally valuable and interesting book, and one which will be read beyond the ranks of specialists. Covering the whole span of the University’s past, from its twelfth-century origins to the present day, it is divided into four parts, dealing with ‘The Catholic University. c.1100–1534’, ‘The Anglican University, 1534–1845’, ‘The Imperial University, 1845–1945’ (which could as well have been entitled ‘The Reform…

  • The Victoria History of the Counties of England

    Open AccessJ R MaddicottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    This latest volume of the Oxfordshire VCH covers fourteen rural parishes in the south-east of the county. Most are located in the clay vale below the west-facing scarp of the Chilterns, but a few, notably Benson and Ewelme, take in small patches of hill country, and three, Nettlebed, Nuffield and Swyncombe, lie almost wholly in the uplands. Two villages, Benson and Warborough, border the Thames, once an important highway, while another sort of hi…

  • The Plantagenet Empire, 1259–1453

    Open AccessJ R MaddicottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2017

    As so often with collections of conference proceedings, the twenty-one contributions here are uneven in quality, value and weight. This partly reflects the difficulties and disparities of the subject, for the Empire was a congeries of different territories, each with its own traditions and united only by the common lordship of the English Crown, which itself varied from place to place and from one period to another, and was sometimes barely more …

  • Parliament and the People in Medieval England

    Open AccessJ R MaddicottARTICLEParliamentary History2016

    This article traces the relationship between parliament and the ordinary people of medieval England, mainly peasants but including townsmen, between about 1270 and 1450. In charting the early history of representation prior to 1270, it outlines the transition from representation of the people by the country's magnates, to the socially broader system of representation through the election of shire knights and town burgesses. Two themes emerge: the…

  • Who Was Simon De Montfort, Earl of Leicester

    Open AccessJ R Maddicott, John MaddicottARTICLETransactions of the Royal…2016Citada por: 1Referencias: 4

    This paper surveys the political career and personal life of Simon de Montfort. Derived largely from the author's biography of Montfort, it lays stress on his initial position as an outsider in English politics whose military abilities, diplomatic usefulness and personal charisma fostered his rise to power at the court of Henry III, but who subsequently fell out with the king and eventually became his fiercest opponent. It describes his position …

  • Nobility and Kingship in Medieval England

    J R MaddicottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2015

    Andrew Spencer’s book, clever, well researched and always interesting, has implications ranging beyond the confines of its subtitle. It is in part an extended commentary on K.B. McFarlane’s famous dictum (quoted several times in the book’s opening pages) that ‘Edward I preferred masterfulness to the arts of political management’: an emphasis which Dr Spencer reverses. He suggests that, although masterfulness was certainly one feature of Edward’s …

  • Edward I and the Governance of England, 1272–1307, by Caroline Burt

    Open AccessJ R MaddicottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2014

    ‘One of England’s most innovative, conceptually creative, focussed [sic] and successful rulers’; Caroline Burt’s downright verdict on Edward I rests, not on a survey of the whole range of his governance, but on her researches into his enforcement of the law and his personal responsibility for initiatives in peace-keeping. This is a book essentially about the king’s responses to crime, disorder and disputes, and about the effectiveness of those re…

  • The Letters of Adam Marsh

    J R MaddicottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2012

    By a fortunate chance, the concluding volume of C.H. Lawrence’s edition and translation of the letters of Adam Marsh has appeared almost simultaneously with the first full translation of those written by Marsh’s co-reformer, fellow scholar and spiritual confidant, Robert Grosseteste. It is pleasing to see a fresh airing given in tandem to the thoughts and concerns of two men who had so much in common besides their friendship. The second volume of…

  • Justice and Grace

    J R MaddicottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2009

    From their inception in the 1270s until the end of the middle ages, private petitions delivered in parliament constituted a significant point of contact between the subject's needs and the king's authority. Their expediting depended on the royal will, initially in providing for the reception of petitions, which might not happen in every parliament, and then in supplying what was wanted: either justice, in cases where no common-law remedy was avai…

  • The Reign of Edward II

    J R MaddicottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2008

    ‘Edward II’, wrote Stubbs, ‘is the first king since the Conquest who was not a man of business’. Though none of the twelve authors contributing to this collection quotes Stubbs's lapidary judgement, much that they write is a tacit riposte to his verdict. Their ‘new perspectives’ put in train the same sort of partial rehabilitation from which King John began to benefit in the 1960s, and for some of the same reasons. Edward was by no means entirely…

  • The Letters of Adam Marsh

    J R MaddicottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2008

    Professor C.H. Lawrence's edition of Adam Marsh's letters has been long and eagerly awaited, and for some obvious reasons. Marsh enjoyed high standing in two different but related worlds. The greatest biblical scholar of his age, and lector to the Oxford Franciscans for most of the 1240s, he was in the vanguard of those who sought to make available the academic learning of the schools as a practical instrument for the pastoral training of the pri…

  • Responses to the Threat of Invasion, 1085

    J R MaddicottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2007Citada por: 1

    In the autumn of 1085 William I faced the threat of an imminent invasion from Denmark, led by King Cnut and possibly supported by Count Robert of Flanders. William of Malmesbury suggests that William responded to this threat by summoning a council on his return to England from Normandy, probably in October 1085. At this council (hitherto virtually unnoticed by historians) it was decided to divide the large mercenary army which the king had brough…

  • London and Droitwich, c. 650–750

    Open AccessJ R MaddicottARTICLEAnglo-Saxon England2005Citada por: 3

    This article argues that the power of the early Mercian kings from Wulfhere to Aethelbald, c.650-750, rested partly on their ability to exploit the growing economy which characterised this period; and that such exploitation provides a hitherto unacknowledged reason for the rise of Mercia to supremacy. The argument rests on the Mercian rulers' control of two particular places, London and Droitwich, the first the country's foremost port, the second…

  • Vita Edwardi Secundi

    Vita Edwardi Secundi: The Life of Edward the Second, ed. and tr. Wendy R. Childs (Oxford: Clarendon P., 2005; pp. lx + 270. £135). The Vita Edwardi Secundi was last made available by N. Denholm-Young in 1957 in what has proved to be an entirely serviceable edition. Was a new one necessary? If the answer cannot be an unequivocal ‘yes’, Dr Childs's replacement will none the less be found exceptionally useful and an invaluable resource for future wo…

    ‘Edward the Confessor’s Return to England in 1041’. This article takes as its starting point an extract from the preface to the early twelfth-century law tract Quadripartitus, which records the return of Edward the Confessor to England (in 1041) from exile in Normandy, the role of Earl Godwin and of Bishop Aelfwine of Winchester in securing his recall, and his reception by ‘the thegns of all England’ at a place called ‘Hursteshevet’, where he was…
