The Tudor Law of Treason (Routledge Revivals)

This title, first published in 1979, was ground-breaking in its exploration of the understudied area of the Tudor law of treason. Mining the archives for official, legal and literary accounts, John Bellamy considers how the government came to hear of traitors, the use of evidence and witnesses in trials and finally the fate of the traitor at the gallows and beyond.
