The final years of Henry II's reign were consumed with putting down rebellions. Those rebels included Henry's sons and wife. In this episode, we explore Henry's family of rebels. We also examine the book of homilies known as the Ormulum. This early Middle English text appeared near the end of Henry's reign, and it contained the first known usage of many Modern English words.
