- Title
The Household Knights of Edward III: Warfare, Politics and Kingship in Fourteenth‐Century England.
- Abstract
Commenting on this transformation of the knightly household, Hefferan is surely right to claim that 'Edward III's reign thus occupies a central place in the history of the royal knight in later medieval England' (p. 46). Matthew Hefferan's I The Household Knights of Edward III i is a major contribution to the study of the I familia regis i , providing a detailed and penetrating look at the royal knightly household during Edward's reign, tracing its evolution in terms of its nature and function, and examining its contributions to the king in waging war and governing his realm. This part contains two chapters that focus on the non-military duties assigned to the king's knights, tracing the evolution of governmental and political service that Edward's knights performed at the local and national levels.
