The year 1215 was also an age of domestic changes and the development of a way of life not entirely different to our own. Presenting a picture of this age, this work explores the attitudes and habits of a nation in flux, and the ways in which they sculpted the modern world.
The year 1215 saw a time of global upheaval from which the ripples can still be felt today - but it was also an age of domestic changes and the development of a way of life not entirely different to our own. From the oddest detail to the grandest political struggle, Danny Danziger and John Gillingham paint an extraordinary picture of this fascinating age, featuring a cast of some of the most enduring names in history - 'Bad' King John, Genghis Khan, St Francis of Assissi - as well as the thousands of ordinary people whose lives, just as they are today, were affected by the historical events happening around them. The power struggles are balanced with the social issues of the day - fashion, communications, education, medicine, religion, sex - as the authors explore the attitudes and habits of a nation in flux, and the ways in which they sculpted the modern world.
