Protectorate

Just to say Annette Carson's new book on Richard's powers as Constable and Protector is now out. Might shed some light on recent discussion topics.

Where is it/ Not on Amazon or even gets a mention on her web site.

Well, I received notification that it's out and available on her website, but you're right - it doesn't seem to be.

I've been unable to reach Jonathan Hayes through the website or normal channels. So, Jonathan, if you read this, could you contact me offlist? Thanks.

Duke of Gloucester as Lord Protector and High Constable of England by Annette Carson, published by Imprimis Imprimatur, ISBN
978-0-9576840-4-1, 112 pages, including 10 appendices of original documents, several previously unpublished Summary: Richard,
Duke of Gloucester (later Richard III) was appointed to a number of the
highest offices of the realm by his brother King Edward IV, of which
one of
primary importance was Lord High Constable of England. He retained this
office in 1483 while concurrently designated Protector and Defender of
the Realm during the minority of Edward V. For a crucial few weeks
Gloucester combined in his person two offices
whose significance has been consistently misunderstood and overlooked.
In effect he held overarching responsibility for defence of England
against enemies from outside and rebels within, while exercising summary
jurisdiction over the crime of treason. Presented
in two parts, the book begins with the origins and development of the
separate offices of Protector and Constable, considering their principal
15th-century incumbents and their place in the constitutional
framework. It summarizes the laws governing the crime
of treason, and indicates how successive monarchs, notably Edward IV,
placed increasing reliance on the High Constable and his Court to
deliver judgement and sentence in such cases. In the second part, this
study addresses the misapprehensions (at the time
and in subsequent centuries) about Gloucester's responsibilities and
powers, and examines the principal events during his protectorate in the
context of both offices, viewed from the perspective of 15th-century
precedent rather than 16th-century hindsight.

Yes Annette just posted this to me to forward. It repeats the
content as set out below but...

Gloucester's responsibilities and powers, and examines the principal
events during his protectorate in the context of both offices,
viewed from the perspective of 15th-century precedent rather than

I wrote to her for a copy and she says she should have physical copies in her hands by Thursday. She'll weigh them for postage (which she believes will add around £5 to the cover price of £8.50) and then send PayPal invoices by email to overseas purchasers.Tamara
