At the same time, it is a reign of considerable institutional and ideological interest. This book offers both a concise history and essential primary source materials for students. Featuring a range of translations, some original and others difficult to find, it brings together scattered evidence and allows comparisons to be made between different accounts. Overall, it sheds valuable light on a significant period in English history, during which the position of the king became both stronger, through increased wealth, and weaker, through the greater need for consent and the precedent of the deposition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI Early opposition\u003cbr\u003eII The king's wealth\u003cbr\u003eIII Parliament\u003cbr\u003eIV The Scottish war\u003cbr\u003eV The middle years\u003cbr\u003eVI Civil war and the Statute of York, 1322\u003cbr\u003eVII The French war\u003cbr\u003eVIII Tyranny and deposition\u003cbr\u003eIX The death and 'afterlife' of Edward II\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040988692823,"sku":"9781526120243","price":72.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526120243.jpg?v=1750948504","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-reign-of-edward-ii-1307-27-9781526120243","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
