"The work of the king's messengers, bearing important messages to all parts of the realm and overseas, was vital to the government of medieval England ... Deservingly, the best messengers were well rewarded in service and retirement. Styled 'Nuncii' or 'Cursores' to distinguish horsemen and runners, they were familiar figures about the royal household, and were often known by distinctive nicknames. Mary Hill has succeeded in identifying, from Wardrobe and Exchequer accounts, and other sources, all the messengers for the reigns of John, Henry III, and the first three Edwards. They are presented in alphabetical order with a service record for each man, commentary and references. This study constitutes an important and valuable resource for all those interested in administrative, court or postal history for the period 1199-1377"--Publisher's description.

Then this book is for you!

Apocalyptic Messenger is an extremely personal volume that delivers sincerity of thought and praise for the Lord Jesus Christ in a unique way. As a compilation of writings, there are varied writing styles including songs, poems, maxims, aphorisms, and fairy tales. As an artist, the attempt was to celebrate God within the pages and encourage thought on the subject of spirituality. What was achieved was a highly detail oriented body of writings that accomplishes that purpose. Unlike anything I have ever seen, Apocalyptic Messenger delivers an extraordinary vision of God as could only be seen by the most honest and soulful of revelations.
