2017 Boydell hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. The political union between England and Gascony or Aquitaine lasted from the early thirteenth century until 1453, and the long series of Gascon Rolls in the National Archives record some of the business of Aquitaine during the union. These are currently being calendared, and this volume reflects some of the research which resulted, both on the administration and record production of the Anglo-Gascon officials, and the English government of the region. The political union between England and Gascony or Aquitaine lasted from the early thirteenth century until 1453, and the long series of Gascon Rolls in the National Archives record some of the business of Aquitaine during the union. These are currently being calendared, and this volume reflects some of the research which resulted. The administration and record production of the Anglo-Gascon officials, and their relationship with the English, including its social and political implications is directly connected to the calendars. New light is shed on the origins of the war of Saint-Sardos in 1323, and on the recruitment recruitment of English criminals in Edward II's army when waractually broke out. From 1361 onwards, Edward prince of Wales (the Black Prince) was also prince of Aquitaine, and two essays are concerned with the period of his rule, which ended disastrously in 1369. The French campaign to retake Gascony dates from this year, and allegiances both in Gascony and in the neighbouring principalities are studied using the material in the rolls. Matters were further complicated by the great papal schism, when French and English backed different candidates for the papacy, and the political division became a religious one as well. Contents: (1) Royal bailiffs and peasant communities in Western Gascony during the reign of Henry III (1216-1272) (2) The oath-taking circuits of the seneschals of Gascony and their origins: the case study of Ralph Basset of Drayton's circuit (1323) (3) The grant of pardons for military service in the war of Saint-Sardos (1323-1325) (4) Recording sovereignty: a study of Gascon Roll C 61/75 (5) Aquitaine in a Castilian chronicle: Pedro Lopez de Ayala's account of King Pedro I of Castile's journey (6) The attitude of the town councils (consulats) of Quercy at the beginning and the end of the principality of Aquitaine (1360-1362 and 1368-1369) (7) Profit out of 'desolation': the anglo-Gascon wine trade (1368-1381) (8) Jean II, count of Armagnac (1373-1384) facing the Anglo-Gascon routiers (9) 'Labour in knyghthood': English soldiers in Gascony (1369-1450) (10) The subjection of the Landes and Southern Aquitaine by the king of France (1441-1463).…
