1215 is remembered for King John attaching his seal to Magna Carta—a milestone in the history of liberty. But it was also a year of crusading and church reform, of foreign wars and dramatic sieges—a year in which London was was stormed by angry barons and England invaded by a French Army. As well as describing these upheavals, Dan Jones explores the lives of ordinary people in thirteenth-century England—how they ate, dressed, worked, lived and died—to create a vivid gripping portrait of an extraordinary year in English history.
