A panel of medieval historians review aspects of the politics, life and society in thirteenth century England, looking also to the centuries before and after. Drawing on current, published and unpublished research, this day offers the opportunity to join in a consideration and discussion of some wide-ranging themes, including, the failure of some medieval towns; approaches that barons might adopt in their exercise of lordship; gentry households and life within them, looking particularly at entertainment; and the discovery of a previously unrecognised Worcestershire chronicle of this period.
