Book Description
Mark Ormrod’s scholarship sets new standards of meticulous archival research into late medieval society. This collection of ground-breaking essays celebrates his wide-ranging influence over several generations of scholars. The eighteen articles in this collection focus on the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and are grouped thematically on governance and political resistance, culture, religion and identity. Close scrutiny of medieval records lies at the heart of the volume, allowing for exciting new insights into late medieval life and political culture. The essays demonstrate the interconnectedness of the localities and the Crown and of religious and political ideas, identities and practice. As such they follow the lead of Ormrod’s hugely important contributions to medieval studies in the last thirty years.
