Book Synopsis
Why did early modern nobilities remain so powerful? In this volume, the author argues that in spite of the changes brought about by the Reformation, by the recovery of crown authority and by the regal union between England and Scotland, the huge power exercised by the nobility remained fundamentally unaltered.
