Kingship, Rebellion and Political Culture : England and Germany, c.1215 - c.1250

Taking as its starting point two uprisings in England and Germany (Richard Marshal in 1233-4 and Henry (VII) in 1234-5), this book offers a new take on the political culture of high medieval Europe.

Themes include: the role of violence; the norms of political behaviour; the public nature of politics; and the social history of political exchange.
