This clear and concise book focuses on the history of the major
realms in Northern Europe during a period in which the relatively
stable society of the High Middle Ages was shaken by wars, plague
and depopulation. Taking into account, and challenging, the
findings of recent research, Margaret L. Kekewich and Susan Rose
present their own distinctive interpretations. Britain, France and
the Empire, 1350-1500 - contrasts the structure of rural society
with the growing importance of towns and traders - examines the
development of the political structures within the various realms -
pays particular attention to the way in which ideals of kingship
were or were not fulfilled in practice - discusses warfare and
logistics - considers the enormous significance of religion
alongside the evolution of a distinctive court society and the
growth of intellectual interests. Adopting a thematic approach, and
illustrated throughout, this is the ideal introductory guide to a
transitional period in European history.
