The Reign of Edward II
New Perspectives
Gwilym Dodd, Anthony Musson
The Reign of Edward II:
New Perspectives
Edward II presided over a turbulent and politically charged period of
English history, but to date he has been relatively neglected in com-
parison to other fourteenth and fifteenth-century kings. This book offers
a significant re-appraisal of a much maligned monarch and his historical
importance, making use of the latest empirical research and revisionist
theories, and concentrating on people and personalities, perceptions and
expectations, rather than dry constitutional analysis. Papers consider
both the institutional and the personal facets of Edward II’s life and rule:
his sexual reputation, the royal court, the role of the king’s household
knights, the nature of law and parliament in the reign, and England’s
relations with Ireland and Europe.
