Böcker av A J Pollard

In 1461 Edward earl of March, a handsome eighteen-year old of massive charisma and ability, usurped the English throne from his vacant Lancastrian predecessor Henry VI. The years that followed witnessed a period of rule that has been described as a golden age. Yet, the author argues that Edward was a man of limited vision.

A.J. Pollard takes us back to the earliest surviving stories of Robin Hood, the 15th-century tales and ballads. Set in the economic, social and political context of the time, the legend of Robin Hood is illuminated.
