The Usurper King Quotes

“The Statute of Labourers of 1351, declaring it illegal to pay anyone more than was customary before the Black Death in 1348-49, had been reinforced ten years later, under pain of branding, for any man who left his home district to seek higher wages elsewhere.”
― Marie Louise Bruce, The Usurper King: The Fall of Richard II and the Rise of Henry of Bolingbroke, 1366-99
