Episode description
King Edward III is acclaimed as the greatest English Medieval King. It's true that England was radically transformed under his rule, from a failed state in 1327, to the most powerful nation in Europe by 1376. But take a look beneath this glorious façade and you enter a world of harsh feudal structures, exploitative institutions and the most devastating pandemic the world has ever seen. Join Jordan Evans as he looks at the world of King Edward III.
