Henry V and the Earldom of Chester 1399-1422
A wide ranging study of the administration and finances of one of the most important lordships in the territories of the English crown- the earldom of Chester - based upon the surviving account rolls of the chamberlain and of the various manors held in direct ownership. The early fifteenth century is particularly significant, first because the usurpation of Henry IV led to the dismantling of Richard II's principality of Chester and to the creation of the future Henry V as earl as well as Prince of Wales and duke of Cornwall, and secondly because of the rebellions of Henry 'Hotspur' Percy and Owain Glyn Dwr boosted the importance of the earldom within the Lancastrian polity.

Abstract
A wide ranging study of the administration and finances of one of the most important lordships in the territories of the English crown- the earldom of Chester - based upon the surviving account rolls of the chamberlain and of the various manors held in direct ownership. The early fifteenth century is particularly significant, first because the usurpation of Henry IV led to the dismantling of Richard II's principality of Chester and to the creation of the future Henry V as earl as well as Prince of Wales and duke of Cornwall, and secondly because of the rebellions of Henry 'Hotspur' Percy and Owain Glyn Dwr boosted the importance of the earldom within the Lancastrian polity.
