The first is the social dimension of power, and the norms and practice of politics: attention is drawn to the variety of roles open to members of the clergy, but also peasants and townsmen, and  the populace at large. Several chapters explore the manifestations and instruments of social identity, such as the seals used by the leading elites of thirteenth-century London, and the marriage practices of the Englisharistocracy. The third main focus is the uses of the past. Matthew Paris, the most famous chronicler of the period, receives due attention, in particular his changing attitude towards the monarch, but the \u003ci\u003eVita Edwardi Secundi\u003c\/i\u003e's portrayal of Thomas of Lancaster and the Anglo-Norman Prose \u003ci\u003eBrut\u003c\/i\u003e are also considered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Janet Burton is Professor of Medieval History at University of Wales: Trinity Saint David; Phillipp Schofield is Professor of Medieval History at Aberystwyth University; Björn Weiler is Professor of History at Aberystwyth University. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Contributors: J.R.
