ReviewsFrank McLynnSunday ExpressThis is an excellent slice of popular history which has "bestseller" written all over it., Christina HardymentThe IndependentDanziger and Gillingham have the knack of walking us right into history and making us feel at home....This is a hugely enjoyable window into medieval life., Rosemary GoringThe Glasgow HeraldThis spirited and anecdotal history...is a colorful corrective to common ignorance about the past....How humbling to realize that, when it came to effective rebellion, medieval citizens were light years ahead of ourselves., John Adamson (Fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge)Sunday TelegraphA new literary genre has arrived. Danziger and Gillingham give us a vivid picture of England in the period...entertaining, evocative, and informative., Antonia FraserMail on SundayAn entertaining and informative study about the document widely regarded as the foundation of our liberties. Even more enjoyable than the account of the Magna Carta itself is the depiction of how we were, who we were, and how many we were in the crucial year of 1215.

SynopsisDanziger sweeps readers back eight centuries in an absorbing portrait of life at a time that saw the Crusades, Richard the Lionheart and the legendary Robin Hood all make their marks in history. At the center of this period is the document that has become the capstone of modern freedom: The Magna Carta.
