Thus we glimpse 11th-century rural society through a conversation between a ploughman and his master.    The life of Dick Whittington illuminates the rise of the urban elite. The stories of Roger 'the Raker' who drowned in his own sewage, a 'merman' imprisoned in Orford Castle and the sufferings of the Jews of Bristol reveal the extraordinary diversity of medieval society.     Through these characters and events - and using the latest discoveries and research - the dynamic and engaging panorama of medieval England is revealed.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44383986155739,"sku":"9781845296858","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9781845296858-us-300_9356eb2b-33d1-4fad-b203-a6d4d4cd10f9.jpg?v=1698741315","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781845296858-a-brief-history-of-life-in-the-middle-ages","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
