Joan of Arc and Richard III loom large in the histories of their
countries, but the myths surrounding them have always obscured just
who they were and what they hoped to accomplish. In this book,
medieval historian Charles Wood brings these fascinating figures to
life through an original combination of traditional biography and
wide-ranging discussion of the political and social world in which
they lived. Wood draws on a range of unusual sources--from art and
legal codes to chronicles and lives of saints--to present a new
picture of medieval people and their concerns. Focusing on topics
often neglected by other historians, he includes lively discussions
of royal adultery scandals, child-kings and the problems they
posed, and earlier people and crises that helped to shape the
culture of sex and sainthood that was profoundly that of the Middle
Ages. In so doing, he clarifies the historical contributions of
Richard and Joan, and sheds new light on the political, social, and
religious forces that shaped medieval government and made France
and England such widely different countries.
