The central theme of the book is the rise and fall of English kingship during this period and at its heart is the central question of how the ruler of the most sophisticated kingdom in 12th century Europe was eventually compelled to submit to the humiliation of Magna Carta at the start of the thirteenth. The book also reaffirms the importance of high politics in English history. No proper understanding of the wider aspects of medieval history (social, economic, cultural) is possible without a firm grounding in political events, and this book covers these themes in depth.  aHistory  cENGLISH  c576494d576494  00104070aACLbACLc7Bd2025-07-19l0o942.02 HUSp115454r2025-07-19 14:46:47w2025-07-19yENGLISH
