About

A non-exhaustive history of London from the earliest settlement up to early modern times, focusing on the daily lives of its citizens, the appearance of the city, and the more important characters and events in its development during the medieval period. The first half of the book focuses on the manners and morals of the people, and the second half of the book focuses on the government and major institutions of medieval London.
