Aprašymas

A comprehensive study of the development of the English constitution, from the early institutions of the Anglo-Saxons to the signing of the Magna Carta.

This book presents a comprehensive survey of the constitutional development of England from the earliest Anglo-Saxon institutions to the close of King John's reign in 1216. Drawing upon both primary sources and historical scholarship, William Alfred Morris traces the evolution of kingship, council, law, and administration through the late Anglo-Saxon, Norman, and Angevin periods, culminating in the constitutional settlement represented by the famous Magna Carta. Designed as a single-volume academic overview, the work offers a clear and authoritative account of early English governance.

William Alfred Morris was a British historian who specialised in medieval institutional history. He served as Professor of English History at the University of California, among other positions, and his works have been widely cited in the field of medieval academia. Originally published under the title "The Constitutional History of England to 1216".
