The year 1000 : what life was like at the turn of the first millennium

See all formats and editions

In the year 1000 the world was one of mystery and magicians, monks, warriors and wandering merchants - people who feared an apocalypse and who had no idea what year it was or what lay beyond the nearest valley.

It was a world of dark forests and Viking adventures in which fear was real and death a constant companion.

People felt they walked hand-in-hand with God, and envisaged him so literally that even Christians were sometimes buried with supplies for the journey to the new life in heaven.

Narrated through the progression of the seasons, this book presents a recreation of English life at the end of the first millennium AD.
