Between 1200 and 1520 medieval English society went through a
series of upheavals--wars, pestilence, and rebellion. This book
looks at aristocrats, peasants, townsmen, wage-earners, and
paupers, and examines how they obtained and spent their incomes.
Did the aristocracy practice conspicuous consumption? Did the
peasants really starve? The book focuses on the varying fortunes of
different social groups in the inflation of the thirteenth century,
the crises of the fourteenth, and the apparent depression of the
fifteenth. Dr. Dyer explains the changes in terms of the dynamics
of a social and economic system subjected to stimuli and stresses.
