About This Book

A detailed narrative of late-medieval English events, tracing royal succession, coronation ceremonies, the granting and disputing of offices and feudal privileges, and the legal and political maneuvers surrounding kingship. It records arrangements for coronations, lists officials and ceremonial duties, recounts claims and petitions over honors and fees, and situates these events within broader chronicles of rebellions, governance, and lineage. Interwoven are descriptive accounts of customs, administrative actions, and contemporary opinions that illuminate power, patronage, and ceremonial law in a monarchical society.
