Not illustrated. 1870 edition. Excerpt: ... FROM THE TIME OF ST. CHAD TO THE REIGN OF OFFA, KING OF MERCIA. FEW years after the death of St. Chad, during the prelacy of Winfrid, who was his immediate successor, Theodore, Archbishop of Canterbury, proposed at a national synod convened by him at Hertford (a frequent residence of the East Saxon kings) that the immense see of Mercia should be divided into several smaller bishoprics. Winfrid, objecting, was deprived of the Mercian see by Theodore, and Saxulf, who consented to the subdivision of the diocese, was appointed; consequently four new sees were created, Saxulf remaining at Lichfield. In 676 a bishop was placed at Hereford, in 678 one at Sidnacester (for Lindsey), and in 680 the sees of Worcester and Leicester were founded.W By this time ecclesiastical influence had become very great throughout the whole of England. In 696 we read of the first church rate being levied. The legislature of Ina, King of the West Saxons, exacted that the requirements of church worship should not be left to be provided for by oblations upon the altar, but that a regular assessment should be made upon houses. Every dwelling was to be valued at c Christmas, and the rate so imposed, called " church-shot," or "church-scot," was payable on the following Martinmas. Money being scarce, the payment was made in produce--usually in grain or seed, but sometimes in poultry. Defaulters were to be fined forty shillings, and to pay church-shot twelvefold. The influence and power of the court of Rome gradually spread over the church in England. The habits and customs of the Italian priesthood were imitated generally throughout the country, and papal supremacy and papal interference were soon felt throughout the whole Heptarchy. England owes the first public...

In 1204, the great Angevin Empire created by the joining of the dynasties of Henry II of England and his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, was fragmenting. At its height, the family landholdings had been among the largest the world had ever seen. From the border of England and Scotland in the north to south of the Pyrenees, it seemed there was nowhere in Europe destined to escape Plantagenet control. Yet within five years of his accession, King John’s grip on the family holdings was loosening. Betrayal against his father and brother, the murder of his nephew, and breaking promises made to his supporters were just some of the accusations levelled against him. When Philip II conquered Normandy, the chroniclers believed that an ancient prophecy was fulfilled: that in this year the sword would be separated from the sceptre. For the first time since 1066, England’s rule over the ancestral land was over. For John, troubles on the continent were just the beginning of a series of challenges that would ultimately define his reign. Difficult relations with the papacy and clergy, coupled with rising dissent among his barons ensured conflict would not be limited to the continent. When John died in 1216, more than half of the country was in the hands of the dauphin of France. Never had the future of the Plantagenet dynasty looked more uncertain. As the following pages will show, throughout the first eighteen years of the reign of Henry III, the future direction of England as a political state, the identity of the ruling family and the fate of Henry II’s lost empire were still matters that could have gone either way. For the advisors of the young king, led by the influential regent, William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, the effects of John’s reign would be long and severe. Successful implementation of the failed Magna Carta may have ensured his son’s short-term survival, yet living up to such promises created arguably a more significant challenge. This is the story of how the varying actions of two very different kings both threatened and created the English way of life, and ultimately put England on the path to its Lost Civil War.
