London was one of the largest cities in the world at the start of the fourteenth century and the lives of people were complex yet beset with the same issues as now. Here the author has used records to look at the lives of the people of this metropolis, what were the main issues and how their day to day existence happened. There are some wonderful tales here and some incredible insights in archaic law - how inanimate objects could be 'fined' for causing death. The research is fantastic and writing style incredibly accessible. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
For the medieval period that was witness to a legion of political and natural disasters, the rise and fall of empires across the globe and one of the most devastating and greatest pandemics human kind has ever experienced, the fourteenth century was transformative. Peering through the looking-glass to focus on one of Europe's largest medieval cities, and centre of an international melting pot on the global stage, this is a social history of England's (in)famous capital and its multi-cultural residents in the first half of the fourteenth century. Using a rich variety of important sources that provide first-hand accounts of everyday life and personal interactions between loved ones, friends, foreigners and foes alike, such as the Assize of Nuisance, Coroners' Rolls, wills, household accounts, inquisitions post mortem and many more, this chronicle begins at the start of the fourteenth century and works its way up to the first mass outbreak of the Black Death at the end of the 1340s. It is a narrative that builds a vivid, multi-layered picture of London's inhabitants who lived in one of the most turbulent and exciting periods in European history.
