Christina: A Medieval Life
« on: Saturday 20 September 08 23:58 UTC (UK) »
This was on BBC2 last night.  I would recommend anyone in the UK with an interest in Hertfordshire, medieval times or just wanting to see how much information can be found from the 14th Century, watch it on iPlayer.

Anyone overseas will have keep an eye on the history channels.

Historian Michael Wood presents a portrait of ordinary people living through extraordinary times, tracing the story of a real-life peasant of 14th-century Hertfordshire. She wasn't a famous person, or of noble blood, yet Christina Cok's story is important in understanding our own roots. In this time of war, famine, floods, climate change and the Black Death are the beginnings of the end of serfdom, the growth of individual freedom and the start of a market economy.
