Tales from the Long Twelfth Century

More about the book

"In an entirely new way, this book tells the story of the great medieval era, a period which saw the Crusades, Robin Hood, dynastic infighting on an epic scale, constant war and Magna Carta. Departing from the usual king-centric, high-politics perspective, Richard Huscroft weaves together the remarkable life stories of particular individuals--including priests, nobles, adventurers and exiles--who were embroiled in the drama of historic events."--Back cover.
