The history of policing frequently implies that military sites were created to fulfil the requirement to provide a rapid response to support the civil powers. This article acknowledges that this factor, especially in the first half of the nineteenth century. The impact is set out through a detailed examination of General Napier’s plans in response to disturbances in manufacturing towns. Care needs to be taken not to ascribe the development of the whole military estate to the fulfilment of that particular function. There were always a small number of important defensive sites in the northern landscape. But the real change in the acquisition of land for military purposes came in the decades after the Crimean War when the military estate was shaped by weaponry and the struggle to create effective training. Accommodating the army remained the dominant factor in terms of the number of military sites. These were located to recruit enough soldiers to supply Britain’s often confused priorities of securing colonial interests and defending against European threats. This article maps out those key changes in the military estate in northern England, a development often overshadowed by the focus on military strength in London and the south coast.

An examination of the Cambro-Latin sources associated with the ‘Coeling’ lineages in the Harleian genealogies (HG VIII–XII and XIX) underscores the need to take a revised view of the geopolitics of the Hadrianic Frontier region across the sixth and seventh centuries. The Northumbrian conquests of the early seventh century may have been a more gradual, diplomatic process than was imagined by later sources, including Bede and Historia Brittonum. Similarly, the hegemony of Rheged, the dynasty of Urien and the ‘Anglian Wars’ of the late sixth-century may have received undue emphasis by these sources. Finally, the Coeling dynasty itself emerges as a retrospective fabrication, whose component groupings appear to have been genealogically and even culturally unrelated in the first instance. We find a hint of this diversity in the onomastic character of each of the lineages, as well as the conflicting dynastic and geopolitical emphases implicit in this early material. The distinct and heterogeneous character of these Cambro-Latin sources are best accounted for in terms of genuine connections to the North, which appear to have converged and syncretised in the surviving text compilations from early medieval Wales. The same tendencies are apparent in the vernacular hengerdd material and saga englynion concerned with Urien and his contemporaries which, we conclude, were probably mediated through the same lines of communication.

Place-name Society. He provides a plethora of examples from the South Pennines showing that the meanings given by A.H. Smith, who compiled the volumes for West Yorkshire which were published in the early 1960s, were often inaccurate or misleading. Knowledge of the local topography and examination of documentation often shows that there is a different origin for a name than that provided by Smith. There is no bibliography. The index is limited as the choice of entries appears rather haphazard. For example, Ilkeston, a very significant place in Nicola Verdon’s chapter, merits no entry. War Agricultural Committees appear under ‘County War Agricultural Committees’ with no cross reference, although the former is the term more likely to be looked up. There is no entry for ‘place-names’ or ‘surnames’ despite these being the subject of George Redmonds’ paper. However, this wide-ranging collection of essays provides new insights not only to local historians of the region but also more widely to those who are interested at a national level in the many topics covered.

For example, Helen Lacey studies a particular type of speech made by subjects through various cases of ‘defamatory political gossip’. She underlines how this problem was handled by English authorities in the general context of ‘contemporary sensitivities to defamation’ and in particular times of unrest (‘Defaming the King: Reporting Disloyal Speech in Fourteenth-Century England’, pp. 71–93). In these essays, individuals always appear in their links to government. Though affected by the loss of members of his entourage, Edward III handled their death with practical sense. In ‘An Emotional Pragmatism: Edward III and Death’ (pp. 39–70), James Bothwell studies notably funeral arrangements and mortuary effigies of members of the king’s familia and shows how mourning could be both a personal and a public affair. Further from the monarchy, two types of individuals emerge in their relationships to the structures of government: there are those who make the State work, and those who try to play with the system. The first is Thomas Hoccleve. In ‘The Medieval “Side-Hustler”: Thomas Hoccleve’s Career in, and out of, the Privy Seal’, pp. 144–163), Helen Killick retraces his career and shows how as a senior clerk he had access to more interesting and lucrative writing tasks and how he had more time for other literary and scribal activities. The second, Thomas Boulton, a chief taxer in charge of the levy of the subside granted by the Parliament in 1332, tried to take advantage of his position to commit fraud. Through the analysis of the responses from Exchequer and the punishment of Boulton, Jonathan Mackman shows how individual trajectories were impacted by the political agenda of a Crown in want of money. The starting point of these contributions is often a person, an institution or a specific source, but their authors always manage to draw general conclusions and to give the reader an insight into political culture. It is an important book for people studying Late Medieval England and a beautiful homage paid to a great historian who died too soon but whose legacy will continue.
