This was on BBC 2 last night. I would recommend watching it on iPlayer to anyone in the UK interested in Hertfordshire or just seeing the amount of documentation that can be found from the 14th Century.

Anyone overseas should keep an eye on the various history channels.

Historian Michael Wood presents a portrait of ordinary people living through extraordinary times, tracing the story of a real-life peasant of 14th-century Hertfordshire. She wasn't a famous person, or of noble blood, yet Christina Cok's story is important in understanding our own roots. In this time of war, famine, floods, climate change and the Black Death are the beginnings of the end of serfdom, the growth of individual freedom and the start of a market economy.
