Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The North-East of England is a highly distinctive region of the United Kingdom, markedly different in history, tradition and culture from its bordering regions of Yorkshire, Cumbria and Scotland. It was a centre of spiritual and cultural excellence and leadership during the Dark Ages, and more recently it has been one of the world's most dynamic and innovative industrial complexes. It was equally distinctive in being an international and subsequently national frontier region, which profoundly affected its life during and after the long Anglo-Scottish war. Since the eighteenth century, much has been written about the North-East, but this encyclopaedia is the first attempt at a comprehensive compendium covering all aspects, and over an extended period. It covers an eclectic range of people, from saints to comedians and families who had an important influence on the region; places, from major cities to villages; the industries that made the region famous; products invented or developed in the region; events of national or international significance; and, institutions that were founded in the region. This book will be a valuable and widely consulted work of reference for all those interested in North-East England. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The late fourteenth century, from the reign of Richard II to the 'revolution' of 1399, inspired Shakespeare and remains of great interest today. Influential and instrumental in the events of this era was the Percy family of Northumberland. Richard Lomas offers a complete study of the Percys and their strategies, from diplomacy and war to king-making. Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland; his eldest son, Sir Henry Percy, known since as 'Hotspur'; and his younger brother, Thomas Percy, Earl of Worcester all played crucial roles in this period. The book examines in compelling detail the rising fortunes of the family, particularly the Earl of Northumberland's expansion of the Percy estate and his brother's successful career as a diplomat and a courtier. It also offers an explanation of the Percys' decision to throw in their lot with Henry Bolingbroke who succeeded the throne as Henry IV, and charts their growing disillusionment and subsequent disastrous, fatal rebellions against the King in 1403, 1405 and 1408. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This 'warts and all' account of a great family tells the story of all the earls and dukes of Northumberland, including such memorable characters as Henry Hotspur, immortalized by Shakespeare, the 'Wizard' earl, and Hugh Percy, 2nd Duke and founder of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.The narrative fairly buzzes along with political intrigue, battles, executions, the great accumulations and disastrous losses of land and power over much of the last millennium. It is a story of heroism, duplicity, great judgement and equally great lack of it, of warriors, politicians, academics and the women who played vital roles in the fortunes of a dynasty. The Percys were on the brink of disaster so many times, and yet managed to survive and thrive by determination, or by sheer good luck. Their story is carried right up to present-day developments at Alnwick and Syon. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
