The Acts and Letters of the Marshal Family
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-107-13003-6 (ISBN)
This collection represents the surviving output of the clerks of the men and women of the most powerful magnate dynasty in England, Wales and Ireland in the thirteenth century. Its greatness was short-lived, but as a result of the Marshals' spread of interests and marriage alliances the charters and letters edited here embrace a remarkable diversity of lordships and societies. That fact and the central place the two Earls William Marshal held at the court of the young Henry III between 1216 and 1231, playing a decisive role in the establishment of Magna Carta, give this collection a unique interest for medieval historians of Britain and France, more so perhaps than for any other contemporary magnate family.
David Crouch has been Professor of Medieval History at the University of Hull since 2000. He was made a Fellow of the British Academy in 2014. He is co-editor of the three-volume History of William Marshal (2003–7), and author of William Marshal (1990), King Stephen (2000), Tournament (2000), The Birth of Nobility (2005) and The English Aristocracy, 1070–1272 (2013). The third edition of William Marshal is to be published in 2016.
