- Summary:
- Anti-enclosure riots, tenurial and rent disputes, and game poaching are among the many types of 'village revolts' that occurred between the accession of Henry VIII and the meeting of the Short Parliament. Based on case studies from equity court records, this book offers new insight into the impact of agrarian change, demographic expansion, and technological innovation, adding considerably to our knowledge of developments in the law of public order in 16th- and 17th-century England.
