		She demonstrates that the streets where one found the "knights of the post," the professional oath-takers of the Tudor law courts, were the same Eastcheap slums in which Falstaff's crew consorted with Prince Hal.
		Far too often, she demonstrates, scholars have taken Plowden's jurisprudence as revolving around "the king's two bodies." The great lawyer was not known as an apolo-gist for royal authority.
		Rather, he was honored for pioneering a theory of equitable interpretation in which statutes were read according to the legislators' meaning--a theory popular with common-law judges, who found in it a rationale for asserting their own powers.

	THE ORIGINS OF THE ENGLISH LANDED GENTRY
		That these families always adhered to Catholicism, or else, like GIFARD of Chillington, did so until the end of the eighteenth century, is significant; in that many of them were important enough to have risen to the peerage or baronetage had they not been debarred from eighteenth century politics on account of their religion.
		The standing of PLOWDEN of Plowden was raised in the later sixteenth century by Edmund Plowden, one of the most eminent lawyers of his day.
		Though the "Rise of the Gentry" is frequently spoken of as a consequence of the Tudor agrarian revolution, caused by the downfall of some of the great feudal lords, the break-up of monastic estates and the enclosures of common land, it is, nevertheless, hard to find families founded by obvious Tudor "new men".

		Though the family lived at Vastern Manor in Wootton, it actually belonged to John's elder brother, the Master of the Court of Wards and Liveries, Sir Francis Englefield of Englefield House (Berkshire).
		John Englefield died when his only son was but four years old and - his uncle, having fled abroad as a well-known opponent of Queen Elizabeth's Protestant reforms - the young Francis' wardship was acquired by the great Elizabethan lawyer, Edmund Plowden.
