The book is dedicated to the history of England 1272 to 1381, one of the most difficult and decisive centuries of English history. The Age of Chivalry deals with a rather short period of time, but very eventful: the evolution of parliament, the reform of the legislative system, the capture of Wales, the Scottish wars of independence, the first period of the Hundred Years War, the triumph of the English bow in the battles of Crécy and Poitiers, the Black Death, the peasant uprising led by Wat Tyler in 1381. In the book you can also familiarize yourself with the history of the church, architecture, poetry, education and trace the formation of the English language.
