The northerners : a study in the reign of King John
J. C. Holt (Author)
This is a book that analyzes the origins of the baronial rebellion against King John, culminating in the Magna Carta. It examines the social and political structure of the northern shires, the motives of the northern lords, and how their widespread involvement in local government made them a powerful force against the king, challenging the idea that they were mere backwoodsmen
