Originally published in 1986, The High Middle Ages begins in the
late twelfth century and ends, not with the arrival of the Tudor
monarchs in 1485, but with the destruction of the wealth and power
of the Church in the 1530s. The book looks at how the passing of
the monasteries marked the transition from an economic and social
system based on a balance - however shifting and uneasy - between
the church and state, to a supreme reign of the church. The book
discusses how the later middle ages were a period not of decay but
of rapid change. It examines how social and economic convulsion
emerged in a society marked by restless energy and creativity. The
three centuries covered in the book mark a key period of extensive
change to the landscape and environment of England between 1200 to
1550.
