Publisher Synopsis
...a highly accomplished book that has a wide scope both geographically and culturally. Maria Hayward, Costume An important book ... so much more than just a study of expenditure. This is a sophisticated, vividly illustrated and rigorously researched probing of the relationship between the material and the mental in the noble life and the political structures of the 'long' fourteenth century. It is abrim with original ideas and perceptions which look to have significant implications for students of other periods too. English Historical Review Fascinating study. BBC History Magazine Vale knows this territory well, perhaps better than anyone, and his book resembles one of the muniment chests that would have accompanied an itinerant court on its journeys; it is a treasure-trove of information, on the hoof ... an essential contribution to the study of court life. Carol Symes, The Medieval Review Refreshing views on the subject of definitions of culture ... Remarkable new book, which will be the point of departure for studies of the late medieval court for a long time to come. Nigel Saul, Times Literary Supplement Read more...
