Forget gilded manuscripts; the Middle Ages festered with dread that clings like damp stone-Black Death carts rumbling through fog-choked streets, bodies stacked like firewood while bells tolled endless dirges.

These weren't legends-they were the era's rhythm, where a bad harvest meant cannibal whispers in the thatch, and leper bells warned of outcasts rotting alive.Dive into the murkier corners: inquisitors firing up braziers for...

Although the "Lost Centuries" between AD400 and 600 suffer from a scarcity of written sources, and only two writers, King Alfred and the Venerable Bede, dominate our understanding of later times, the authors have created a rich and thought-provoking account of the stormy era when Britain became Christian and sustained several waves of Viking invaders. A single nation, they suggest, slowly emerged from the rivalries and fluctuating fortunes of separate kingdoms like Mercia, Wessex and East...
