These Books of Rates list for the use of English customs officials the official values of hundreds of products commonly traded overseas in the sixteenth century. What goods needed to be listed and what their official valuations were held to be, had been the subject of wary negotiations between the crown and the Merchants Adventurers. These lists thus offer us four snapshots of the shape of English foreign trade.But that is not all. Unbeknownst to all previous scholars, the 1536/45 and 1558 Books of Rates were translated into German (in 1558/60) for the use of Hanseatic diplomats haggling with the crown about customs rates. These translations reflect Hanseatic commercial interests in trade with England, in a word: the shape of the Hanses trade with England.The subject indices, structured to function as a glossary, will serve as a glossary for all scholars working on the economic history of the sixteenth century.

Much more than an excellent gazetteer; this detailed study of the countys castles, monuments and towers shows who was responsible for the defence of the Anglo-Scottish border whilst Henry V was at Agincourt.Subsequent surveys show how in 1584 Christopher Dacre forwarded a bold project that linked a string of towers forming a defence against marauding Scots, suggesting new towers to stop gaps, with a dyke or defence joining them like a latter-day Hadrians Wall. Beyond this line were the many Peles or Bastles, home to the headsmen of the notorious reiving families, who were cursed in 1525 by bishops of Durham and Glasgow as punishment for their brutal way of life, giving rise to much legend and romance. Meanwhile, polite society occupied the large castles nestled amongst the coastal area still standing today for all to see.This history and gazetteer, with over 500 entries and plentiful illustrations and plans, will enhance your understanding of the history of the borders and their proud, turbulent past.

In The Art of War, Machiavelli discusses the importance of a strong military organization for the security and success of a state. The book is divided into seven parts and is presented as a dialogue between Fabrizio Colonna, a veteran soldier and strategist, and other fictional characters. Through this format, Machiavelli explores various aspects of war, including soldier training, battle tactics, the use of artillery, and the importance of discipline.One of Machiavellis main theses in The Art of War is that war must be well-planned and that leaders must be well-informed and prepared. He emphasizes the importance of continuous training of soldiers and the maintenance of a national militia rather than relying on mercenaries, whom he considered unreliable and motivated only by money.Machiavelli also addresses the importance of terrain and geography in war, arguing that a good commander should know the terrain he fights on as well as possible to use it to his advantage. He discusses the role of fortune and chance in war, but highlights that preparation and skill can often overcome these unpredictable factors.
