Critiques

A major work by the acknowledged doyenne of medieval London studies in this generation --now almost the previous generation. With very useful lists of civic officials.

As remarkable as it now appears, in light of fires, invasions, bombings, and intense religious and tribal purges, the civic records of the city of London between 1200-1500 remain intact. The author is Professor of History of London at Royal Holloway, University of London.

In the 12th century, the government was a Commune. It evolved into a kind of group of elected leaders who developed ways of dealing with demanding and often distracted monarchs, and the quarrels of the city inhabitants.
