The History of England

109 War between the Wars

The period between 1347 and 1353 was one of low level war and violence; punctuated by more or less effective truces.

This my retelling of the story of England, which is a regular, chronological podcast, starting from the end of Roman Britain. There are as many of the great events I can squeeze in, of course, but I also try to keep an eye on how people lived, their language, what was important to them, the forces that shaped their lives and destinies, that sort of thing.
