Suffolk was one of the most important regions of England in the
middle ages. Even by 1200 it was wealthy, densely populated, highly
commercialised and urbanised; and it survived the impact of three
of the most tumultuous events of the last millennium, the Great
Famine (1315-22), the Black Death (1349) and the Peasants' Revolt
(1381), to become by 1500 one of the richest and most
industrialised regions of England, based on cloth manufacture,
fishing and tanning. This first volume in a series which will
become the definitive History of Suffolk describes, documents and
analyses these events. It combines an accessible and readable
summary of the current state of knowledge with fresh insights drawn
from extensive investigations of primary sources. Overall, it
offers a guide to and re-evaluation of the history of late medieval
Suffolk. MARK BAILEY is Senior Visiting Lecturer at the University
of Leeds and Headmaster of The Grammar School at Leeds.
