The period was beset by constant wars with France, frequent troubles with the popes, and baronial rebellions culminating in Magna Carta. But Angevin rule also witnessed the re-establishment of a strengthened royal authority and administration, a burgeoning prosperity, the beginnings of the common law, and the foundations of universities at Oxford and Cambridge. This is not only a history of the politics of the period but of society and culture, and the interactions of the three.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eRichard Mortimer\u003c\/b\u003e was born in London and educated at Maidstone Grammar School and the universities of Sussex and London.
