First sentence: We should explore the economic history of medieval Britain for many reasons.
Description: Dramatic social and economic change during the middle ages altered the lives of the people of Brittain in far-reaching ways, from the structure of their families to the ways they made their livings. In this engagingly written economic history, Christopher Dyer provides a vivid new account of British medieval life from the Viking invasions through the Norman Conquest to the colonial expansion of the sixteenth century.
