This volume contains selected essays from a conference held in November 2013 to celebrate the contribution to scholarship of the medieval historian Professor James L. Bolton. Within the overall theme, the essays address a number of different questions in medieval economic and social history, focussing in particular on the activities of merchants, their trade, legal interactions and identities, and on the importance of money and credit in the rural and urban economies. Other essays look more widely at patterns of immigration to London, trade and royal policy, and the role that merchants played in the Hundred Years War.

With over 2.5 billion people calling themselves Christians worldwide, there are bound to be widely differing views of what it means to be 'Saved'. Yet getting it right is literally a life or death decision. It can make the difference between a life of defeat or victory; compromise or commitment; insecurity or peace; fear of judgement or assurance of eternal life. This book cuts to the chase, clears the fog, reveals both the costs and the rewards and offers a compelling and challenging invitation to embrace God's clear-cut call to pursue a radical salvation that will transform you from the inside out. Each chapter ends with three thought provoking questions or activities, designed to provide an opportunity for readers to consider how the content of that chapter applies to them. The book therefore lends itself very well to be used in small groups as an effective discipleship tool. What others have said about 'Radically Saved' "Warning! Do not read this book unless you desire to become more like Jesus. Its pages are punctuated by scripture, powerful testimonies and gripping illustrations which will not only transform your thinking, they will challenge the attitudes of your heart - perhaps even the trajectory of your life's journey." Sian Rees (Evangelical Alliance Wales) "Martin's message of radical faith is contagious and has been forged throughout a life surrendered to Jesus. If you want to experience the victory and freedom that comes from an encounter with Jesus, read this book!" Tim Oliver (AHOP) "This is a book for every Christian to read and every pastor to use for discipleship and small groups in the church, because what this world needs are followers of Christ who are Radically Saved." Dr. Jógvan Zachariassen (Pastor; Graham Ass. Tour Director) "I couldn't recommend this book more highly. With each chapter I read of Radically Saved, my heart leapt! This is exactly what we need at this juncture of history we find ourselves in as Christ Followers! Thankyou Martin for your clear voice for true gritty discipleship in these critical days." Peter Russell (Wild Hope International) "To see Jesus is to love Him and to love Him is to yield our all to Him. This book will help equip you for that journey and empower you to walk as one radically saved." Dr John Andrews (International conference speaker; Author)

Money could be as essential to everyday life in medieval England as it is today, but who made the coinage, how was it used and why is it important? This definitive study charts the development of coin production from the small workshops of Anglo-Saxon and Norman England to the centralised factory mints of the late Middle Ages, the largest being in the Tower of London. Martin Allen investigates the working lives of the people employed in the mints in unprecedented detail and places the mints in the context of medieval England's commerce and government, showing the king's vital interest in the production of coinage, the maintenance of its quality and his mint revenue. This unique source of reference also offers the first full history of the official exchanges in the City of London regulating foreign exchange and an in-depth analysis of the changing size and composition of medieval England's coinage.
