IN THE REIGN OF KING JOHN (PLANTAGENET ENGLAND) (HB)

An illustrated edition of Realm Divided, Dan Jones's portrait of Plantagenet England in 1215 during the reign of King John. It opens a window onto everyday life in thirteenth-century England: home and church, love and marriage, education and agriculture, outlawry and hunting, food and clothing. It offers a vivid and authoritative portrait - from royal court to peasant wedding - of medieval life in the round, as well as an exhilarating and revelatory exploration of the big themes of politics, warfare, religion, feudalism and the law during a transformative year in English history.
