In this continuation of The Plantagenet Chronicles, the diligent monks take us back in time to witness the lives and deeds and kings, queens, princes and churchmen. Their world was one of brutality, intrigue, power and pestilence. The Chroniclers tell the story of the Plantagenets, while illustrated background notes give a lively picture of what was happening throughout Europe ? music and medicine Chaucer and Boccaccio, Marco Polo and Genghis Khan, the first House of Commons, the last Crusade?* A FINE copy with absolutely minimal wear in a VG+ protected dust jacket. This is a heavy volume, and may require a supplement for postage.* Hallam, Elizabeth M.
