E lizabeth C arson P astan and S tephen D. W hite . The Bayeux Tapestry and Its Contexts
This jointly authored volume presents a carefully integrated case for a reassessment of much that is conventionally accepted about the Bayeux Tapestry—or Embroidery, as it is termed with an intentionally jarring precision everywhere other than in the title. In The Bayeux Tapestry and Its Contexts: A Reassessment, Elizabeth Carson Pastan and Stephen D. White accept the case first elaborated by Francis Wormald, that many motifs in the Tapestry are …

A Brief History of Britain, 1066–1485
Nicholas Vincent’s A Brief History of Britain, 1066–1485: The Birth of a Nation is the initial volume in a new, four-part history of Britain. The title might lead readers to anticipate the opening section of a reconfigured history of Britain or even, perhaps, a misleadingly titled history of the British Isles, drawing on the historiography of the last forty years, much of which has consciously tried to eschew Anglocentricity—the medieval Atlantic…
The ould fields’
Since J.G.A. Pocock's Ancient Constitution and the Feudal Law (1957), Coke has been considered 'the common law mind' incarnate. The significance which Pocock attributed to Coke's writings accurately reflected their contemporary importance. But because historians shy away from the technicalities of common law, these writings have been caricatured rather than analysed in detail. More has been said about Coke's influence than about what he wrote. Th…
The Making of Polities
Conquered England
This book argues that Duke William of Normandy's claim to succeed Edward the Confessor on the throne of England profoundly influenced not only the practice of royal succession, but also played a large part in creating a novel structure of land tenure, dependent on the king. In these two fundamental respects, the attempt made in the aftermath of the Conquest to demonstrate seamless continuity with Anglo-Saxon England severed almost all continuity.…
Conquered England
The King as an Anomaly
This chapter explores in more detail the transformation in tenure consequent on William's conquest. It concentrates on the writings of Eadmer of Canterbury who revealed a particularly acute understanding of the tenurial changes which the Conquest had entailed. He saw that prelates as well as laymen held their lands of the king in a new way — a way which he regarded as sacrilegious. This novel personal and tenurial bond was created by homage. The …
Marsilius of Padua and 'the Truth of History'
Marsilius of Padua and 'the Truth of History'
"This book reinterprets the great medieval thinker, Marsilius of Padua, who is conventionally considered to be ahead of his time as the first secular political theorist, the first post-classical thinker to espouse republicanism, and a scholastic precursor of the republican humanists of the Renaissance. George Garnett overturns this widely accept view, and attempts to advance the first truly historical interpretation of Marsilius's thought."--Jack…
Providential History from the Reign of Constantine
Although Marsilius has doubts about the authenticity of the Donation of Constantine, it is too important to his argument for him to reject it. For it records the emperor ceding legislative power to the bishop of Rome. This, for Marsilius, was the point at which Christian history began to go awry. Previously, the bishop of Rome had of necessity come to exercise quasi-jurisdictional powers over Christians, because the emperor was not fulfilling thi…

Law in the Vindiciae, Contra Tyrannos
Dr Anne McLaren has disputed the interpretation of the Vindiciae, contra tyrannos (1579) as a work in which Roman and canon law were fundamental. She correctly identifies Quentin Skinner and me with this interpretation. She bases her case on two sorts of evidence: the alleged paucity of Roman law citations, as compared with scriptural ones, in the margins of the original text; and our alleged failure to appreciate the ‘context’ of the Vindiciae ,…

Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos
The Vindiciae, contra tyrannos was the most infamous of the monarchomach treatises produced during the French wars of religion, and continued to be revered (or execrated) as a key part of the radical canon for well over a century after its publication. It is one of the first attempts to advance a systematic justification, with interlocking secular and religious arguments, of resistance against legitimately constituted political authority. This ed…

Coronation And Propaganda
WHEN the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (D) s.a. 1066 described the submission ‘out of necessity’ of many of the most important members of the English nobility to duke William at Berkhamstead, which followed extensive ravaging by the invading army, the chronicler lamented the fact that it was only at this stage that the English did so ‘... after most of the damage had been done—and it was a great piece of folly that they had not done it earlier, since God…
