HISTORY HIT Guide to Medieval England: From the Vikings to the Tudors and Everything in Between

Spanning more than five centuries, the HISTORY HIT Guide to Medieval England follows the development of England from the Viking attacks of the ninth century through the Norman Conquest, Plantagenet rule and the Wars of the Roses to the emergence of the Tudor dynasty. Created by History Hit with an introduction by Dan Snow, it brings together political, military and social history in a deliberately accessible tour of the medieval period.

The book moves through major turning points alongside lesser-known people and episodes, from the Great Heathen Army and the struggle for England before 1066 to Magna Carta, the Angevin world and the dynastic conflicts of the fifteenth century. Its concise, lively structure makes a complicated period easy to navigate without reducing medieval England to a list of kings and battles, offering an approachable starting point for general readers who want to understand how the kingdom and its institutions changed across the Middle Ages.
