Richard III: A Study of Service

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.
