... [this book[ brings into particularly sharp focus the multifarious strategies for confronting challenges and resistance to royal power - from diplomacy, negotiation, and peace-making through to campaigning and siege warfare, as well as the capacity of government to cope with rebellion and its consequences. - Oliver Creighton (University of Exeter, UK) in the journal of the Society for Medieval Archaeology
