Description: This intriguin book tells the story of this great medieval era and the dynasty at its heart in an entirely new way. Departing from the usual king-centric, high-politics perspective, Richard Huscroft instead centres each of his chapters on the experiences of a particular man or woman who contributed to the broad sweep of events. This irresistible book deftly weaves together remarkable life-stories to illuminate anew the key themes of this exciting and formative era.
