Who's Who in Late Medieval England: 1272

by Michael Hicks

This is part of an eight-volume series providing short biographies of men and women from Roman to Victorian times. Each entry places the subject in the context of their age and evokes what was distinctive and interesting about his or her personality and achievement.

The biographies are arranged in a broadly chronological rather than alphabetical sequence so that the reader may easily browse from one contemporary to the next. The index, with its many cross-references, reveals further linkages between contemporaries.

Each volume is a portrait of an age, presenting history in a biographical form which complements the conventional approach.
