A vivid and richly illustrated portrait of English society in the
penultimate year of the reign of a king with the worst reputation
of any in our history. 1215 is chiefly remembered for King John
attaching his seal to Magna Carta in a quiet Thames-side
water-meadow - a milestone in the history of liberty. But it was
also a year of crusading and church reform, of foreign wars and
dramatic sieges - a year in which London was stormed by angry
barons and England invaded by a French army. As well as describing
these upheavals, Dan Jones introduces us to the ordinary people of
thirteenth-century England - how and where they worked, what they
wore, what they ate, and what role the church played in their lives
- to create a vivid gripping portrait of an extraordinary year in
English history.
