Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the rise of the city of Carlisle from Norman times to its incorporation as a borough in the 14th century. The author focuses on the emergence of the city's governing charter in the 17th century and the tumultuous decades that followed, during which the Crown's attempts to impose its control upon the city intensified. The text concludes with a discussion of Carlisle's identity as a free city, independent of the county and with its own authority over its judicial and executive functions. The book uses the records of Carlisle's guilds to illuminate the social and economic life of the city's inhabitants. Through these records, the author reconstructs the lives of the city's tradesmen and craftspeople, as well as their institutions and traditions. Providing an accessible and rich study of the development of an important border city, this book offers valuable insights into the transformation of English society from Norman times to the early modern era.
