商品簡介
This Book Examines the structures of power and jurisdiction that operated in Tudor England. It explains what the institutions of central government were designed to do and how they related to one another. It discusses, too, how order and obedience were supposed to be preserved in the countryside, and how the offices designed for that purpose worked in practice. In this book, Professor Loades highlights the complex links between the formal and informal systems of peace-keeping that functioned throughout the country, providing readers with an important context for the social and political developments of the age.
