The Land of the Prince Bishops: The Palatinate of Durham, 1345-1437

达勒姆在中世纪晚期是不同的，达勒姆的帕拉特国是英国的主要自由，是一个行政和司法单位，不受王室的直接控制。这项关于达勒姆王朝的新研究考察了“权力下放”在中世纪背景下的含义，在多大程度上，帕拉特国作为一个国家在一个国家内运作，以及在多大程度上，巴拉特国成为达勒姆绅士身份认同和依恋的焦点。

Durham was different in the late Middle Ages the palatinate of Durham was the major English liberty, an administrative and juridical unit which was exempt from direct royal control. This new study of the palatinate of Durham examines the meaning of 'devolution' in a medieval context, the extent to which the palatinate operated as a state within a State, and the degree to which the palatinate served as the focus of identity and attachment among the Durham gentry.
