The History of England

88 Politics, scandal, intrigue and turmoil

The period between 1308 and 1311 was dominated by the attempts of the barons to resolve the issues left unsolved from Edward I's reign; and by the scandal and disruption caused by the king's favourite, Piers Gaveston. The conflict and turmoil led to another constitutional shuffle forward with the powers and role of parliament in the Ordinances of 1311. <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=fZ8V3VCFmMM:bI3EOIGu0mU:yIl2AUoC8zA"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=fZ8V3VCFmMM:bI3EOIGu0mU:63t7Ie-LG7Y"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=fZ8V3VCFmMM:bI3EOIGu0mU:qj6IDK7rITs"> Hosted on Acast.

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.
