Behind Chester's ancient walls lie records of kings, rebels and merchants that shaped a realm. Chester was no mere backwater. In this classic study, antiquarian Rupert Hugh Morris traces the fortunes of medieval Chester, from the rise of Plantagenet England to the turbulent reigns of the Tudor dynasty. Grounded in original documents, civic charters and parish evidence, it illuminates government, justice, guild life and religion in one of the most important British medieval towns, revealing how a border city mediated power between crown, gentry and townsfolk across the wider history of Cheshire. A landmark work of English local history, Chester in the Plantagenet and Tudor Reigns opens a vivid window onto medieval British history in the streets, courts and churches of medieval Chester, England. Morris traces the city's continuity from feudal stronghold to prosperous Tudor borough, an essential account of Plantagenet and Tudor England seen through Chester city history and the wider Tudor-period Cheshire region. Rich in archival detail yet lucidly written, it serves as a reference book for historians, a companion for British history students, and a rewarding read for anyone drawn to the history of Cheshire and other British medieval towns. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this Tudor era history book offers scholars and collectors an enduring study of power, community and identity on the north-western edge of the English realm.
