Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the fascinating world of medieval Bristol, offering a window into the daily life of its citizens and the institutions that governed their society. The author meticulously examines the "Little Red Book," a record of the town's ordinances, customs, and financial dealings from the 14th and 15th centuries. Through this unique source, the book unveils the inner workings of medieval Bristol, exploring the intricate system of trade guilds, the rise of the Common Council, and the evolving role of the church in civic life. The author delves into the ordinances governing various crafts, revealing the struggles for control between masters and workers and shedding light on the impact of events like the Black Death. The book further illuminates the town's journey towards political independence, culminating in its elevation to a county in 1373. We witness the citizens' petition for this status, their arguments for self-governance, and the resulting charter granted by Edward III. The book offers a compelling exploration of how the town of Bristol negotiated its political identity, economic power, and social structures in the dynamic context of medieval England.
