| Summary: | "Travel back in time to Hampshire, England in 1381. It is a turbulent time, and England is in the middle of the Hundred Years War. Meet a knight and family, his servants, officials and tenants, associates and military company; follow them through a year in their lives; and then get a taste of campaign life and war as they might have experienced them - all in color photographs." "The pictures feature carefully researched and reconstructed clothing, tools, armor, furnishings, and other items, all based closely on surviving items or manuscript illustrations and paintings. Many of the backgrounds feature preserved or reconstructed buildings. Similarly, the text draws extensive details from historical accounts, records, chronicles, and literature, as well as modern historical and archaeological research. Together they build a portrait of a world long lost in time."--BOOK JACKET. |
