The Rise of New Boroughs and the Decline of Electoral Localism
The period between the ‘Wonderful Parliament’ of 1386 and the parliament ended by Queen Mary's death in 1558 saw major changes in the composition of the Commons. From the mid 15th century, there was a new and accelerating expansion in the number of seats. Yet, although these new seats extended representation geographically, the Commons, conceived as a group of individual MPs, did not thereby become more geographically representative. The expansio…
The Later Medieval Inquisitions Post Mortem
The Inquisitions post mortem (IPMs) are a truly wonderful source for many different aspects of late medieval countryside and rural life. They have recently been made digitally accessible and interrogatable by the Mapping the Medieval Countryside project, and the first fruits of these developments are presented here. The chapters examine IPMs in connection with the landscape and topography of England, in particular markets and fairs and mills; and…
Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem and Other Analogous Documents Preserved in the National Archives. Vol. XXIV
These two volumes mark the end of one Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded project and the beginning of another. The Calendar is chronologically the third, but, in terms of publication, the fifth, in a series, that extends the printed calendar of inquisitions from 1422 to 1447. It is also the last; and the inquisitions for 1447 to 1485 (the publication of which would complete the series from 1236 to 1509) remain available only in manuscrip…
Parliament and Political Pamphleteering in Fourteenth‐Century England – By G. Oliver
The English Parliaments of Henry VII, 1485-1504, by P.R. Cavill
Original, insightful, elegantly written in a sparse style, this is a fine book, and, as the book of a thesis, an outstanding one. The author sets himself an arduous task. Henry VII's Parliaments have proved difficult to place in their historical context; satisfactory, seemingly, neither as epilogue to the narrative of the ‘medieval’ Parliament, nor as prologue to that of the Parliaments of later Tudor monarchs. Here Cavill identifies a distorting…
Legal Right and Dispute Resolution in Late Medieval England
THE sale of the castle and lordship of Dunster in Somerset, the caput honoris of the ancient family of Mohun, was one of the most curious land transactions ever made in late medieval England. Large estates were rarely sold, still less those at the heart of historic patrimonies. When such sales did occur, the seller’s motive generally lay in a kinship with the heir remote enough to negate the customary bonds of duty and natural affection between t…
The Reign of Henry IV
This collection of conference papers is a companion volume to Henry IV: The Establishment of the Regime (2003; rev. ante, cxix [2004], 989–91), pursuing the story of the reign into its later years. Its ten essays cover a variety of themes. In the first, Michael Bennett discusses the two acts of succession of 1406, the first, in June, entailing the crown in the male line, the second, in December, restoring the customary understanding that the crow…

Social mobility, demographic change, and landed society in late medieval England
This paper aims to document the impact of the plague-induced demographic crisis of the second half of the fourteenth and first half of the fifteenth centuries on the succession patterns of the English landed aristocracy and to show that while these changed succession patterns both increased the wealth of the established families that survived the plague and encouraged upward mobility into the landed class they were particularly important in promo…
Political Society in Lancastrian England
This is a study of the political and social structure of late medieval England. It examines the wealth and political influence of a dozen Nottinghamshire families who dominated their county during the first half of the fifteenth century. The author's analysis shifts the historical emphasis from the barons at the head of their affinities to the greater gentry as members of well-defined shire establishments. The study reassesses the nature of baron…

Aristocratic Crime and the Regulation of Local Conflict
Recent work has demonstrated a sophisticated appreciation of the natural limitations of the judicial power of the crown and of the role of extra-legal methods of dispute settlement in the regulation of aristocratic conflict. This is not, however, to deny that the disputes of the leading men of the shires posed a genuine threat to public order. Not only did these men have the resources to bring large groups of armed men into the field to defeat or…
