England is usually regarded as medieval Europe’s most centralised kingdom, yet North-East England in the Middle Ages was dominated by privileged jurisdictions or ‘liberties’, which greatly reduced the English crown’s direct authorityin the region. This book examines the organisation of power and society in north-east England over two crucial centuries in the emergence of the English ‘state’. Holfod and Stringer’s ground-breaking study extends beyond regional history to make significant contributions to the mainstream of ongoing debates about ‘state’, ‘society’, ‘identity’ and ‘community’.
