  • Ireland’s English Pale, 1470-1550
    Steven G Ellis
    A key argument of this book is that the English Pale - the four counties around Dublin under English control - was expanding during the early Tudor period, not contracting, as other historians have argued. The author shows how the new system, whereby 'the four obedient shires' were protected by new fortifications and a newly-constituted English-style militia, which replaced the...

  • Conquest and Union
    Sarah Barber / Steven G. Ellis
    The British Isles is a multi-national arena, but its history has traditionally been studied from a distinctively English -- often, indeed, London -- perspective. Now, however, the interweaving of the distinct but mutually-dependent histories of the four nations is at the heart of some of the liveliest historical research today. In this major contribution to that research, eleve...

  • Ireland in the Age of the Tudors, 1447-1603
    Steven G. Ellis

  • The Making of the British Isles
    Christopher Maginn / Steven G. Ellis

The Making of the British Isles recounts the development of the nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland from the time of the Anglo-French dual monarchy under Henry VI thr...

  • Defending English Ground
    Steven G Ellis
    A key duty of the Renaissance monarchy was the defence of its subjects. For the English monarchy, the rule and defence from enemies beyond the long-landed frontiers in Ireland and the English far-north proved an intractable problem. It was not, however, a duty which was accorded a high priority by successive Yorkist and early Tudor kings, nor is it an aspect of state formation ...

  • Tudor Frontiers and Noble Power
    Steven G. Ellis
    This controversial book offers a novel perspective on Tudor government and British state formation. It argues that traditional studies focusing on lowland England as ’the normal context of government’ exaggerate the regime’s successes by marginalizing the borderlands. Frontiers were normal in early-modern Europe, however, and central to the problem of state formation. Steve Ell...
