along with a knight's tale, a story of the early seeds of human rights in western society.

really? I'd disagree, I think there's a distinct case for the homogenisation of western Europe and the dominance of the catholic church suppressed the rights of anyone who wasn't at the top of the power tree until the industrial revolution. Welsh women had rights that were suppressed after this period, and not granted to women in the UK until the early 20th century.
I think this book was the best of Penman's novels. What Simon De Montfort was fighting for is what is now known as Parliament.
