The book The Place of the Reign of Edward II in English History is written by Thomas Frederick Tout and was first published in 1914. It is based on the Ford Lectures that the author delivered at the University of Oxford in 1913. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the reign of King Edward II and his impact on English history. Tout examines the political, social, and economic factors that influenced Edward II's reign, including his relationship with his barons, his foreign policy, and his management of the economy. He also explores the events that led to Edward II's downfall, including his failed military campaigns in Scotland and his controversial relationship with his favorite, Piers Gaveston. Throughout the book, Tout provides detailed historical context and draws on a wide range of primary sources to support his arguments. He argues that Edward II was a weak and ineffective monarch who failed to maintain the power and prestige of the English crown. However, he also acknowledges the complexities of the period and the challenges that Edward II faced as a ruler. Overall, The Place of the Reign of Edward II in English History is a valuable resource for anyone interested in medieval English history. It provides a nuanced and detailed analysis of a pivotal period in English history and sheds light on the political, social, and economic forces that shaped the country during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
