Thornton, T: Cheshire and the Tudor State, 1480-1560
Beschreibung:
Asserts the importance of the semi-autonomous political, administrative and judicial system of the palatinate of Chester in the early Tudor period. The culture of centre and locality justified and glorified the palatinate: taxation, a crucial issue, was still agreed through a local parliament and paid in the traditional manner.
Introduction - the historiography of centralisation and the palatinate in 15th century: The aristocracy and gentry of Cheshire. Part 1 The palatinate - alive and active: the political culture of the palatinate; the Cheshire mise - taxation in an autonomous county; the Chester council and exchequer - powerful local institutions. Part 2 Development and change: the Westminster and other external law courts; Parliament and legislation; the officers of the palatinate. Part 3 Politics and provincial privilege: Henry VII and the palatinate; Wolsey, Cromwell and Cheshire politics, 1509-1536; the late 1530s and after.
