Praise for Royal Minorities of Medieval and Early Modern England
"Charles Beem has assembled an impressive lineup of
historians well-acquainted with their subjects to illuminate the
history and significance of royal minorities over three centuries.
This is a well-conceived and well-organized book dealing with an
important topic that has not been covered in this kind of detail
before."

University of St Andrews
