From Magna Carta to the Provisions of Oxford and Westminster: English Identity and Political Dissent

Master thesis | History (MA)

This paper examines the impact of English National Identity upon political dissent in 13th century England. Using official documents alongside contemporary accounts it details how this identity was repeatedly used by political dissidents between Magna Carta and the Provisions of Oxford and Westminster, to such an extent that in 1258 both the rebels and the royalists found it essential to claim it as their own.
