Research Interests
Dr Stansfield's research focuses on the political history of late-medieval and early-modern Britain, including issues of governance, identities, and the royal court, household, and affinity. In particular, his research concentrates on the Wars of the Roses and the reigns of the Yorkists and Tudors. In addition, his interest in local history has led to research on Lancashire during the early-modern period.
