Book Synopsis The King's Secretary and the Signet Office in the XV Century by : J. Otway-Ruthven
Book excerpt: Miss Otway-Ruthven examines the history of the office of the King's Secretary from 1377, the first appearance of a King's Secretary, to 1509, demonstrating its rise from the comparative unimportance of a confidential clerkship to a position worthy of the attention of a bishop and a fitting instrument of Tudor Government.
