Synopsis
This collection of essays is the first full account of the largest estate in early modern England, against which the fortunes of all other estates may be judged. Previous accounts have tended to regard the Crown lands as a resource to be plundered by successive monarchs in times of need: much of the monastic land confiscated by Henry VIII had been sold by the time of his death, and the estates had mostly been liquidated to meet the demands of expenditure by 1640. It is not denied in these essays that the estates suffered from the attrition of periodic sale, but the estates are also seen as a continuing enterprise of complexity and sophistication. Each essay is concerned with the dialogue between the Exchequer and its local administrators and tenants. The success and failure of initiatives launched by the Exchequer is illustrated by examples drawn from many communities throughout England.

Review
'The Estates of the English Crown is an indispensable and much-needed book, dealing thoroughly with those problems of tenures, Exchequer administration and royal finance which have in the past defeated or slowed the pens of some notable scholars. For the general historian of the period, perhaps the greatest interest of the book lies in its discussion of projects for improving revenue.' Paul Slack, The Times Literary Supplement
Book Description
This is the first comprehensive account of the Crown estates and their management under Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I. A respected team of contributors examine the success and, more often, failure of the Exchequer in governing these lands.
