Basing her research on a wide range of archival material, Dr. Horrox highlights a crucial feature of royal government in this period--the role of the king's servants. For the years immediately before and during Richard's reign, the book explores fully the practicalities of obedience, the reciprocal nature of service relationships, and the whole structure of late medieval affinities or client systems.

Scholarship at its best

An excellent study of medieval "affinities." There is much in this work that is new to the study of Richard III, and all that is here is enlightening. Highly recommended for scholars of the period.
A must for the serious medivalist
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This intelligent, academic work should be in the collection of anyone who wants to understand the medieval concepts of lordship and service. Richard's reign, especially as "Lord of the North," is used to exemplify many important issues surrounding medieval administration. Highly recommended.
