Chapter 119- The Battle of Bridge Street (1330-1339)

The Story of London por Saul

Notas del episodio

The Story returns with a chapter that indulges itself with all things London; from burglars, to street sellers; from orphans to soldiers; this episode dives deep into as many normal lives as possible. Along the way we encounter the first mention of gunpowder weapons in English history, repeated attempts to avoid paying taxes, and the ongoing issues causes by heavily armed fishmongers… culminating in a battle on Bridge Street that was to test a new Mayor of London to the limit.
