Product Description


Details:
A fascinating new social history of medieval Engl&.

Between the tenth century & the Wars of the Roses in the mid-fifteenth century, England was transformed, moving from the dark age of the Saxon kings to the birth of the modern nation. The consolidation of the crown & the feudal system reshaped the landscape & saw the emergence of towns & trading cities.

Using a wide variety of first-hand accounts & anecdotes, Martyn Whittock shines new light on this extraordinary era. A conversation between a ploughman & his master allows Whittock to explore eleventh-century rural society; an account of Dick Whittington illuminates the rise of the urban elite; while the stories of Roger the Raker who drowned in sewage, the treatment of a merman imprisoned in Orford Castle & the sufferings of the Jews of Bristol reveals the diversity of medieval society.

Ideal for:
Through skilful synthesis of source material & up-to-date research, the dynamic panorama of medieval England is entertainingly revealed.

This paperback book has 320 pages & measures: 19.7 x 12.9 x 2cm.
