I study the political and ecclesiastical history of early modern England, concentrating on the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. My research focuses on governance and the constitution, principally in the context of the Wars of the Roses and of the Break with Rome. I have a particular interest in the history of parliament. Much of my scholarship is based on analysing different kinds of legislation. I work mostly with manuscript sources and specialise in the administrative and legal records of central, local, and diocesan government.
