As in previous volumes of this well-established series, most papers are concerned with the political, social, cultural, economic and ecclesiastical history of England during a 'long' thirteenth century [c 1180 - c 1330]. Thirteenth Century England X contains papers on crown finances [Nick Barratt], grants of markets and fairs [Emilia Jamroziak], royal stewards of alien origin [Michael Ray], the aftermath of the Barons' War [Susan Stewart], the readership of Wace's Roman de Brut [Françoise Le Saux], Robert de Chaury bishop of Carlisle [Henry Summerson], authority in Yorkshire nunneries [Janet Burton], and taxation and settlement in Devon [Harold Fox]. There are three papers on various aspects of the reign of Edward II and its aftermath [David Crook, Alistair Tebbit and Seymour Phillips]. The volume also follows the tradition of the series by looking beyond England, with papers on the role of Joan, wife of Llywelyn the Great in Anglo-Welsh relations [Louise J. Wilkinson], on the city of Dublin's relations with the crown [Seán Duffy], and on English landholding in Ireland [Beth Hartland]. The continental connection is represented by a comparison of aspects of English and French kingship in the time of Henry III and Louis IX [David Carpenter].
