Summary "London and the Kingdom - Volume 1" by Reginald R. Sharpe is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the significance of the City of London's political role in shaping the history of England, drawing primarily from archival sources housed at Guildhall. The narrative covers various epochs, highlighting how London's municipal organization, trade mastery, and civic governance evolved over the centuries, particularly during key conflicts and transitions of power. The opening of the book introduces the reader to London's geographical and political importance, tracing its development from the Roman occupation through the Anglo-Saxon era and into the Norman Conquest. It outlines the unique status of London as a free city, free from over-lordship and thus able to maintain a degree of autonomy that other towns lacked. The author sets forth a detailed examination of London's governance and its pivotal events, such as the issuing of royal charters and the influence of its citizens during critical moments of English history, including civil wars and royal successions. This foundational chapter establishes the broad and intricate tapestry of London's historical significance, inviting readers to appreciate the city's complex legacy within the broader context of the Kingdom.
