Sobre IBD

John of Gaunt (1340-99) was the richest and most powerful subject in England, and a key actor on the international stage. He was deeply involved in the peasants’ Revolt and the Hundred Years War. He was also one of the most hated men of his time. This splendid study, the first since 1904, vividly portrays the political life of the age, with the controversial figure of Gaunt at the heart of it.
