Dr Garnett's main research interests lie in English history of the tenth to thirteenth centuries, specifically what used to be called constitutional history. He has recently completed a study of the impact of the Norman Conquest on notions of kingship, succession and tenure. He also works on political thought in a more conventional sense: he has published an edition of Vindiciae, contra tyrannos, the highly influential sixteenth-century resistance treatise, and has recently completed a study of the role of providential history in the thought of the fourteenth-century Italian theorist, Marsilius of Padua.
