First published in 1984, The Royal Bastards of Medieval England delves into the comprehensive list of royal bastards that existed in medieval England, shedding light on their significant roles in the historical narrative of the era. The authors intricately explore the gradual evolution of the church's stance on sexual and marital customs, leading to a decline in the social standing of illegitimate children. However, by the early sixteenth century, a remarkable resurgence occurred, as royal bastards once again gained entry into the peerage. This captivating book not only provides a detailed account of the lives of these individuals but also contextualizes their experiences against the backdrop of contemporary political developments and evolving notions of morality and family. With its rich content, The Royal Bastards of Medieval England appeals to scholars and enthusiasts of history, religion, and literature, offering a profound exploration of this intriguing period.
