- catalog abstract ""This book asserts the importance of the semi-autonomous political, administrative and judicial system of the palatinate of Chester, and of other similar jurisdictions, in the early Tudor period." "Contrary to the impression conveyed in almost all recent writing, the culture of centre and locality justified and glorified the palatinate. Taxation, a crucial point in the nexus of crown-locality relations, was still agreed through a local parliament and paid in the traditional manner; and the council of the earl of Chester was potent enough to tap the demand for equitable justice, giving birth to the Chester exchequer." "Changes did occur. By 1560 Cheshire people were becoming more accustomed to litigation in chancery or star chamber, their officers were more frequently courtiers or members of the council in the marches of Wales, and new laws meant writs ran in the king's name. Justices of the peace presided over quarter sessions in the county, and Cheshire members of parliament sat at Westminster. These changes were, however, limited and never intended to destroy the special nature of the Chester palatinate." "Neither political imperatives, nor administrative momentum, nor the imperial ideal, present particularly in the work of Thomas Cromwell, were to result in the incorporation of the palatinate as just another English shire. Cromwell's ideal was not a vision of uniformity but of supreme sovereignty projected into varied jurisdictions. The Chester palatinate as a cultural, social and political institution emerged in the 1560s altered but still formidable."--Jacket.".
