General survey of political power structure of Thirteenth century Cambridgeshire

在13世纪的英格兰，国王被许多英国和日本的教科书学者视为王国共同体的唯一统治者。但我在2003年发表的论文揭示了13世纪中期伯爵和男爵的政治重要性。在男爵战争中，地方居民不仅在地区政治中发挥了重要作用，而且在国家政治中也发挥了重要作用。在1260年代的剑桥郡爱卷中可以看到他们的活跃。他们中的一些人在1264年的刘易斯战役和1265年的伊夫舍姆战役中担任西蒙·德·蒙福特的追随者的百名陪审员。通过这样做，他们利用凯尼尔沃斯格言的一些条款保护了信徒的地位，使其免于失去所有权。因为国王的朋友们。在德·蒙福特的军队被击败后，他们急于剥夺自己的房屋。这些陪审员的司法技巧受到国王的法官和权贵的地方法警的高度评价。因此国王，权贵和当地居民构成了13世纪中期英国政治的权力结构。

The king has been regarded as the single ruler of the community of the realm in thirteenth century England by many of the textbook scholars both in England and in Japan. But My thesis published in 2003 revealed the political importance of the earls and barons in the mid thirteenth century. Local Residents also played an important roll not only in regional politics but also in national politics in the Barons' war. Their active roll can be seen in the cases of Cambridgeshire Eyre rolls in 1260s. Some of them worked as hundred jurors who presented the adherents of Simon de Montfort during the battle of Lewes in 1264 and Evesham in 1265. By dioing so, they protected adhernts' status from losing tenement utilizing the some clauses of the Dictum of Kenilworth. Because the king's friends were. eager to deprive their tenements immediately after the defeat of de Montfort's army. Those jurors' judicial skill was much valued both by the king's justices and by the Magnates' local bailiffs. So the king, magnates and the local residents constituted the power structure of mid thirteenth century English politicts.
