Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Tudor period was marked by recurrent wars with France, followed by the threat of invasion from the Spanish Netherlands, placing the maritime counties of south-east England in the front line of England's defences. The Rye chamberlains' accounts record in considerable detail the income and expenditure of the town during the 16th century, providing a unique picture of the impact of war on one of the larger south coast ports. This article reconstructs the main features of Rye's military contributions, offering new insights into the conduct of Channel warfare in the 16th century and particularly into the importance of the town's privateering ventures which were both a major source of revenue and a substantial contribution to England's war effort. | |||||||||
