| Book Description | Adam Usk, the full details of whose remarkable life are here revealed for the first time, was born in Usk around the middle of the fourteenth century. Through the patronage of the Mortimer family - the earls of March - he studied law at Oxford, eventually rising to hold a chair in civil law there, before entering the service of Archbishop Arundel and, ultimately, of King Henry IV of England. He was an eye-witness to the revolution of 1399, but soon after this, having left England for Rome, he fell out with Henry IV and spent several years in exile, accused of collaborating with the Welsh rebel leader, Owain Glyn Dwr. Eventually, having returned to Wales secretly, he managed to gain a pardon from the king in 1411, and thus spent his remaining years, until his death in 1430, in relative peace. |
| Editorial Review | Given-Wilson's new edition and translation... combines a highly readable English version of the text with an extremely informative introduction, notes, and criticakl apparatus... begins with a fascinating account of Usk's life and career. Given-Wilson's discussion of the manuscript is masterful. * J.S. Hamilton, Albion * In this edition Professor Given-Wilson has done full justice to his subject. Offering several new perspectives on Usk's life he has provided an edition which is not only a pleasure to use, but fully lives up to the high standards set by his editorial predecessor, Sir Edward Maunde Thompson, almost a century ago. * John Taylor, History * |
