Using wide-ranging evidence, Martyn Whittock shines a light on
Britain in the Middle Ages, bringing it vividly to life in this
fascinating new portrait that brings together the everyday and the
extraordinary. Thus we glimpse 11th-century rural society through a
conversation between a ploughman and his master. The life of Dick
Whittington illuminates the rise of the urban elite. The stories of
Roger 'the Raker' who drowned in his own sewage, a 'merman'
imprisoned in Orford Castle and the sufferings of the Jews of
Bristol reveal the extraordinary diversity of medieval society.
Through these characters and events - and using the latest
discoveries and research - the dynamic and engaging panorama of
medieval England is revealed.
