Edited by Marcus Bull, Senior Lecturer in Medieval History, University of Bristol

"'One regrets that, in Paterson's case, not all work cited and sometimes contested can be identified, either in the book's grudging footnotes or in the lists for further reading. Perhaps this could be rectified at the time of reprinting. Such a small blemish does not spoil this enterprising collection, which suggests some interesting answers to the question with which this review began.'" - Christopher Allmand, University of Liverpool, History vol 89, issue 1, number 293
