Download or read book Irish English Relations A History in Documents written by Karen Sonnelitter and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1919, Prime Minister David Lloyd George of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland noted that “there is a path of fatality which pursues the relations between the two countries and makes them eternally at cross purposes.” For better or worse, Ireland has frequently been defined by its relationship with its neighbor to the east. And for centuries, English monarchs and governments have struggled with what they came to term “the Irish Question.” Through 76 primary source documents, contextualized by informative introductions and annotations, this volume explores the political, economic, and cultural impacts of the relationship between Ireland and England.

Download or read book God s Peace and King s Peace written by Bruce R. O'Brien and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometime before the middle of the twelfth century, an anonymous English writer composed the Leges Edwardi, a treatise purporting to contain the laws that had been in force under the Anglo-Saxon King Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), cousin of William the Conqueror. The laws were said to have been spoken to William shortly after the Conquest by "English nobles who were wise men and learned in their law," recounting "the rules of their laws and customs" for the invading Norman king. When they had finished, the king wondered whether it might not be better for all of them to live under the law of his Viking ancestors; the English, however, protested that they preferred to live by their own preconquest laws. The king acquiesced, and thus, goes the story, were the laws of King Edward the Confessor authorized. Looking through the lens of this important—if spurious—treatise, God's Peace and King's Peace offers the first ground-level view of English law during the century in which the common law was born. Bruce R. O'Brien compares the Leges Edwardi to other memorials of legal policy and practice from before and after 1066, in both Normandy and England, and advances conclusions about the treatises' reliability on specific points of law. He also shows how the Laws of Edward the Confessor, taken as a record of English law at the conquest, came to be used as authoritative evidence behind the Magna Carta that the king was under the law, and how it was eventually declared a notorious forgery by seventeenth-century antiquaries and Enlightenment historians.
Download or read book Popular Protest in Late Medieval English Towns written by Samuel K. Cohn, Jr and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to received opinion, revolts and popular protests in medieval English towns were as frequent and as sophisticated, if not more so, as those in the countryside. This groundbreaking study refocuses attention on the varied nature of popular movements in towns from Carlisle to Dover and from the London tax revolt of Longbeard in 1196 to Jack Cade's Rebellion in 1450, exploring the leadership, social composition, organisation and motives of popular rebels. The book charts patterns of urban revolt in times of strong and weak kingship, contrasting them with the broad sweep of ecological and economic change that inspired revolts on the continent. Samuel Cohn demonstrates that the timing and character of popular revolt in England differed radically from revolts in Italy, France and Flanders. In addition, he analyses repression and waves of hate against Jews, foreigners and heretics, opening new vistas in the comparative history of late medieval Europe.
Download or read book A King s Ransom written by Andy Reeley and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sleeper terrorist in rural Gloucester awakens with a message from the caves of Afghanistan. He is given a plan to kill the Royal Family and members of Parliament. The tool of choice is so obvious a sight that it is almost invisible to most people. Meanwhile a man with a centuries old claim to the British Throne plans a devastating flood in London and cause untold deaths and damage to bring down the monarchy, and restore the Tudor Dynasty to the British throne. Combined these two threats attack the very foundations of British Society. Only one couple, working for a secret organisation set up by King Charles centuries before, and hidden in the British Security Services, stand in the way of disaster to protect Queen and Country from these twin attacks. Their only hope is diligence and cooperation from the police and Intelligence Services in a race against time.
Download or read book From Lawmen to Plowmen written by Stephen Yeager and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reappearance of alliterative verse in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries remains one of the most puzzling issues in the literary history of medieval England. In From Lawmen to Plowmen, Stephen M. Yeager offers a fresh, insightful explanation for the alliterative structure of William Langland’s Piers Plowman and the flourishing of alliterative verse satires in late medieval England by observing the similarities between these satires and the legal-homiletical literature of the Anglo-Saxon era. Unlike Old English alliterative poetry, Anglo-Saxon legal texts and documents continued to be studied long after the Norman Conquest. By comparing Anglo-Saxon charters, sermons, and law codes with Langland’s Piers Plowman and similar poems, Yeager demonstrates that this legal and homiletical literature had an influential afterlife in the fourteenth-century poetry of William Langland and his imitators. His conclusions establish a new genealogy for medieval England’s vernacular literary tradition and offer a new way of approaching one of Middle English’s literary classics.
