Description
A cultural history of the period 1066-1485 presented in the form of a political narrative supported by illustrations and picture essays. The backbone of the book provides a framework within which many social, economic and cultural themes are pursued. The integration of images with text displays the range and variety of the surviving visual evidence of medieval culture. Edmund King is also the author of "Peterborough Abbey 1086-1310: A Study in the Land Market" and "England 1175-1425".
