The first volume in what will become the definitive history of
Suffolk looks at how the county survived the three most tumultuous
events of the period, the Great Famine, the Black Death and the
Peasants' Revolt, to emerge as one of the richest English regions.
The late middle ages were without doubt the most interesting period
in Suffolk's history. By the end of the eleventh century Suffolk
was wealthy, densely populated, highly commercialised and
urbanised; in the fourteenth century its people faced three of the
most tumultuous events of the last millennium, the Great Famine
(1315-22), the Black Death (1349) and the Peasants' Revolt (1381).
Their response was flexible and innovative, because by 1500 Suffolk
was one of the richest and most industrialised regions of England,
with a strong economy based on cloth manufacture, fishing, dairying
and tanning.
