Knights and knighthood in Tudor England
No full textPhDThe first chapters of this thesis attempt to isolate the factors
responsible for the making of a Tudor 1aiigt. Birth (noble and
gentle), education, wealth, conrtexiona, reli&.on, activity in
royal service, war, and the general auninons to take up knighthood
are all surveyed and, together with an analysis of the fluctuating
numbers of knights throughout the century, provide material f a
discussion of royal attitudes towards the honour,
Dubbing ceremonies and the occasions deemed suitable are next
described and a discussion of the aigniticance of the ceremonies
for both crown and subject is undertaken.
Finally, a study of the work of knights as members of
parliament, justices of the peace, sheriffs and deputy lieutenants
seeks to determine whether knights had taken up new duties to replace
the moribund military ones, and a brief conclusion suggests how and
wby knighthood was transformed during the century to survive the
decline of feudalism and chivalry

Knights, knaves or pawns? Human behaviour and social policy.
No full textThere are two fundamental changes currently under way in the welfare state. These are the development of quasi-markets in welfare provision, and the supplementation of ‘fiscal’ welfare by ‘legal’ welfare: policies that rely on redistributing income through regulation and other legal devices, instead of through the tax and social security system. This article argues that these changes are in part the result of a fundamental shift in policy-makers’ beliefs concerning human motivation and behaviour. People who finance, operate and use the welfare stateare no longer assumed to be either public spirited altruists (knights) or passive recipients of state largesse (pawns); instead they are all considered to be in one way or another self-interested (knaves). However, since neither the ‘new’ nor the ‘old’ set of assumptions are based on evidence, policies based on the new set are as likely to fail as those based on the old. What is needed are ‘robust’ policies that are not dependent on any simple view of human behaviour.
