      abstract = {This book explores the place of loyalty in the  relationship between the monarchy and their subjects in  late medieval and early modern Britain. It focuses on a  period in which political and religious upheaval tested the  bonds of loyalty between ruler and ruled. The era also  witnessed changes in how loyalty was developed and  expressed. The first section focuses on royal propaganda  and expressions of loyalty from the gentry and nobility  under the Yorkist and early Tudor monarchs, as well as the  fifteenth-century Scottish monarchy. The chapters  illustrate late-medieval conceptions of loyalty, exploring  how they manifested themselves and how they persisted and  developed into early modernity. Loyalty to the later Tudors  and early Stuarts is scrutinised in the second section,  gauging the growing level of dissent in the build-up to the  British Civil Wars of the seventeenth century. The final  section dissects the role that the concept of loyalty  played during and after the Civil Wars, looking at how  divergent groups navigated this turbulent period and  examining the ways in which loyalty could be used as a  means of surviving the upheaval.--},
