Kenneth Horn | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Originally published in 1934, this is the first volume of Kenneth Pickthorn's two-volume assessment of the constitutional impact made by the first two Tudor kings, Henry VII and Henry VIII. This book contains Pickthorn's study of Henry VII's reign, beginning with the nature of the kingship and proceeding through the various government offices and classes to villeins and bondsmen, examining the mutual dependence of the king and the citizenry for the continued good government of the realm. Carefully researched and fluently written, this text will be of value to anyone with an interest in fifteenth-century British government or the history of the British constitution.
