The book provides a comprehensive account of famine relief in the late Middle Ages and evaluates the extent to which traditional market regulations enforced by thirteenth-century kings helped shape future responses to famine and scarcity in the sixteenth century. Analysing some of the oldest surviving archival evidence of public response to famine, Sharp reveals that food riots in England occurred as early as 1347, almost two centuries earlier than was previously thought. Charting the policies, public reactions and royal regulations to grain shortage, Sharp provides a fascinating contribution to our understanding of the social, economic, cultural and political make-up of medieval and early modern England. 606 $aFamines$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aFamines$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aFamines$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aScarcity$xPolitical aspects$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aFood riots$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aGrain trade$xPolitical aspects$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aMarketing$xPolitical aspects$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aAgriculture and state$zEngland$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$y1066-1687 615 0$aFamines$xHistory 615 0$aFamines$xHistory 615 0$aFamines$xHistory 615 0$aScarcity$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aFood riots$xHistory. 615 0$aGrain trade$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aMarketing$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aAgriculture and state$xHistory. 676 $a381/.41310942 700 $aSharp$b Buchanan$f1942-$0850773 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136610003321 996 $aFamine and scarcity in late medieval and early modern England$91899639 997 $aUNINA
