They have been written by 15 British and American scholars who share his fascination with the crown and the nobility of later medieval England and France. Together they exemplify the many-sided relationship between kings and nobles in this supremely aristocratic age: their constructive and co-operative relationship in peace and on campaign, as well as the tensions between them as a result of intrigue and rebellion; the crown's close relationship with, and exploitation of, the church, as well as the depth of aristocratic piety; the way in which kings ruled, not least with the advice of their councillors; and how the city of London reacted to the deposition and death of kings in 1483-5. Together, the essays range from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, and six of them grapple with some of the most absorbing problems associated with Richard III's reign and the accession of Henry Tudor.
