1381: The Year of the Peasants’ Revolt by Juliet Barker
An interesting and informative read.
I found the earlier chapters describing the social and economic background surrounding the revolt to be more interesting that the details of the events across the country found in the later chapters, but that’s mostly because I was looking for more of an overview of the topic and hadn’t previously read any books on it. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone looking for background and more details on the 1381 revolt.
The colour plates were a lovely detail and well chosen.
