Tim Thornton is Deputy Vice-Chancellor of and a Professor of History at the University of Huddersfield. He is the author, amongst other works, of Cheshire and the Tudor State, 1480-1560 (2000), Prophecy, Politics and the People in Early Modern England (2006) and The Channel Islands, 1370-1640 (2012), all published by Boydell and Brewer.

Most people are (hazily) aware that the status of the Channel Islands is somewhat different from the restof the UK regarding taxation and law. Tim Thornton's text provides the explanation. Each charter has an introductory section giving the background to its grant, and there is an image of the original document, a transcript of the original Latin (and a little Anglo-Norman), and an English translation. These fascinating historical documents still hold legal force and the rights conferred therein are jealously guarded.
