David Carpenter is a leading authority on the history of Britain in the central middle ages. He was educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford. He is a particular exponent of 'thickened political narrative,' which he deployed in The Minority of Henry III (1990), a book which traced the complex political history of the years 1216 to 1227 out of which a new monarchy, limited by Magna Carta, emerged. He has also fixed the true date of Magna Carta in 1215, revealed the causes of the great political revolution in 1258 and shown how peasants were fully engaged in the subsequent period of reform and rebellion. He has also argued that feudalism was fundamental to the workings of English society and politics in the century after 1166, and has cast new light on the place of both the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey in England's polity.
