The King, the Crown, and the Duchy of Lancaster: Public Authority and Private Power, 1399-1461

by Helen Castor

Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI were at the same time kings of England and dukes of Lancaster. This book examines the complex relationship between their public authority and their personal lordship over a private inheritance. In so doing, it sheds new light on late medieval English government at both national and local levels.
