For my mother, Vera Edith Thorpe and in memory of my father, Laurence Henry Thorpe

I should like to thank most warmly Professor Geoffrey Elton for all his encouragement and advice and also Dr Chris Challis and Dr Roger Hainsworth who read the script at different stages and offered me excellent advice. I would also like to thank Mrs Wilma Sharp for her endless patience in typing the various drafts and struggling endlessly with my illegible handwriting, Miss Mary Jane Kirkman who helped tidy up the last intractable problems and Mr F. B. Stitt, archivist of Staffordshire county record office, who was most patient in dealing with last minute problems at a long distance. I should like to thank the staff of the Public Record Office, the British Museum and the Institute of Historical Research for their assistance. Without the resources of these institutions, this book could never have been completed.
