This selection of essays and papers, published variously inWales, England,FranceandNorth Americabetween 1964 and 1990, deals with the fifteenth century. It explores themes in the history ofEngland,Walesand, to some extent, the dominions of the English crown beyond. Such a triple perspective can be instructive for the historian ofEnglandas well as for historians ofWalesand of the king’s lands overseas. Crown, court and capital were the fulcrum of political, administrative and social developments throughout the English realm and its associated dominions, as is illustrated here by the experience of Yorkshire and the north, and the principality and marches ofWales. Regional and more local relationships among magnates and gentry and their tenantry, among townsmen and religious and secular clergy, are of comparable significance in a polity which had strong and intricate links between capital and country, crown and localities, realm and dominions, court, castle, manor and town house.
