• catalog abstract ""Building upon the seminal work of J. C. Holt and J. G. A. Pocock, this book deals with the ways in which medieval and early modern historians, lawyers, and politicians deployed their own national history to justify opposition to the English kingship. In particular, it is a study of the origins and development of the historical construct of the "radical ancient constitution," a version of the past that originated in the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries from three sources of conspicuous importance: the Modus tenendi Parliamentum, the Mirror of Justices, and, most important of all, the so-called "Laws" of Edward the Confessor." "The book tells how a cult of kingship, centered around Edward's "Laws," was transformed from a cult that sacralized the upstart Norman dynasty into one which desecrated the Stuart monarchy. In telling the whole story of the "ancient constitution" from the middle ages down to the eighteenth century, the book also corrects two widely held assumptions about Stuart England: first, that the so-called whig version of history was concocted by seventeenth-century dissidents who deliberately distorted medieval history in the service of their own agendas: and, second, that argument from history was inherently conservative, while argument from natural law and natural rights was inherently radical. Finally, the author's arguments serve as a corrective to revisionist histories that erase "revolution" from the "century of revolution" and to reduce the role played by political principle in seventeenth-century England."--BOOK JACKET.".
