With a diverse range of entries - one for each day of the year - this is the ideal almanac for lovers of all things medieval. Big events - battles, coronations and international diplomacy - sit alongside recipes, pop songs, weather reports and celebrity gossip, as it covers incidents as diverse as murder in York to adultery and tornadoes in London. Ranging from 1066 to 1500, the book features a fascinating selection of the stories that might have featured in medieval newspapers, had they existed at the time. Taken from original sources, the excerpts offer a delightful insight into the daily lives of medieval people.
