Completed during a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship at UCL, Royal Childhood and Child Kingship refines adult-focused perspectives on medieval rulership to expose the problematic nature of working from the assumption that kingship equated to adult power. The book stresses innovations and adaptations in royal government, questions the exaggeration of political disorder under a boy king, and suggests a rulerโs childhood posed far less of a challenge than their adolescence and youth.
