Henry VIII, the Duke of Albany and the Anglo-Scottish War of 1522–24, by Neil Murphy
The Livery Collar in Late Medieval England and Wales: Politics, Identity and Affinity, by Matthew Ward
The livery collar, one of the most distinctive features of late medieval English material culture, has long been considered an important political symbol. It was both a sign of status, a gift from a ruling monarch or important magnate that denoted a degree of favour bestowed upon the wearer, and an indicator of political allegiance, particularly so during the dynastic conflicts of the fifteenth century. Matthew Ward’s carefully researched and wel…
Political Society in Later Medieval England: A Festschrift for Christine Carpenter, ed. Benjamin Thompson and John Watts
This collection of essays celebrates the scholarship of Christine Carpenter and her contribution to the history of late medieval Britain. As with the great K.B. McFarlane before her, Professor Carpenter’s role as a teacher, Ph.D. supervisor and mentor has been at least as influential, if not more so, in the field than her published work. In his introduction, the co-editor, John Watts (himself supervised by Carpenter), celebrates the intellectual …

A Short History of the Wars of the Roses
The Wars of the Roses (c. 1455-1487) are renowned as an infamously savage and tangled slice of English history. A bloody thirty-year struggle between the dynastic houses of Lancaster and York, they embraced localised vendetta (such as the bitter northern feud between the Percies and Nevilles) as well as the formal clash of royalist and rebel armies at St Albans, Ludford Bridge, Mortimer's Cross, Towton, Tewkesbury and finally Bosworth, when the u…

Calais: An English Town in France, 1347-1558
Exactly one hundred years after the publication of George Sandeman's Calais under English Rule Susan Rose has produced a timely book-length overview of the history of this northern French town under English governance. The book takes a narrative approach to some two hundred years of English rule, beginning with Edward III's siege in 1347 and ending with the town's capture by the duc de Guise in 1558. Other chapters explore its fourteenth-century …
Household, politics and political morality in the reign of Henry VII
Late fifteenth-century England, it has recently been suggested, experienced its own ‘pre-Machiavellian moment’, when the rules of politics and political morality were redefined in the \ncrucible of civil war. Moreover, this was part of a wider western European shift in the nature of politics and one with which Henry, as an exile in Brittany and France, was personally \nacquainted. The Spanish ambassador’s comment, therefore, that the king wished …
War and the State in Early Modern Europe: Widening the Debate
While the debate on the role of war in state development in early modern Europe has ranged widely, the participants have not answered its most fundamental question to the satisfaction of most historians. The difficulty has been how to assess whether war was more important than other factors as a driver of state formation. In practice it is more fruitful to study the role of war within a multi-causal model, but to do this the interaction between w…
War, State, and Society in England and the Netherlands 1477-1559
Comparing the effects of war on two early modern states, England and the Netherlands, this book tests the idea that war increased rulers' power over their subjects. Including detailed studies of towns and noblemen in both countries, it explores wider themes such as national identity, news culture, economic policy, and religious change.

The Defence of Calais and the Development of Gunpowder Weaponry in England in the Late Fifteenth Century
This article challenges the prevalent perception that the development and use of gunpowder weaponry in England in the late fifteenth century differed markedly from that in France and Burgundy. This is done in the light of the evidence of the Calais victuallers' accounts. Calais was England's most important military and commercial frontier, and the unique survival of large amounts of archival material allows its gunpowder weaponry to be reconstruc…
Henry VII, Chamber Finance and the 'New Monarchy: Some new Evidence
This article re-examines Henry VII's use of the king's chamber as the principal means of managing royal revenue. This is done in the light of the rediscovery of a series of account books belonging to two clerks of John Heron, treasurer of the chamber. This article challenges the assumption that Heron's account books are straightforward ledgers of royal income and expenditure. It also argues that stories of Henry's great wealth were not fables of …
