Booklog 78/2022: Jennifer Paxton: The Story of Medieval England from King Arthur to the Tudor Conque

[jacey]

Not exactly a book, but delivered by Audible, so I’m reviewing it as one. This is a general overview of England (specifically) from post Roman times until Henry Tudor took the crown from Richard III on Bosworth Field. It’s delivered in handy bite-sized (30 minute) chunks and covers domestic as well as political history. There was a fair amount of it that I already know, but stringing it together as a continuous narrative made it a very good reminder of things I’d half forgotten. Jennifer Paxton wrote and read this production. Recommended.

I seem to have read a lot of medieval history of late- I guess it's being married to a medievalist!

This wasn't a deep dive, but very enjoyable as an overview.
