This class seeks to introduce students to the world of late medieval England, which is often described as one of the worst periods of history to live through. These years saw the realm battered by climate change and apocalyptic plague, the highs and lows of a long conflict against France which later became known as the Hundred Years' War, and the crumbling of serfdom and the increasing assertion of political significance by the commons. Beginning in 1381, the commons repeatedly rose up in fury to demand an end to injustices which made their lives a grinding misery. This was also a time of religious ferment, with the English Church enduring widespread criticism from a reform movement that eventually came to be condemned as heresy. The latter decades of the period witnessed what we now know as the Wars of the Roses, which constitute the subject of Shakespeare's most famous history plays and one of the principal inspirations for the "Game of Thrones" novels and television series. Although the Wars of the Roses had only a limited impact on the lives of most English men and women, they devastated the nobility and effectively wiped out the last members of the Plantagenet royal dynasty that had ruled England since 1154. As a result, the English crown fell to a most unexpected new king, who was virtually a stranger in his new realm.
