Full of colour photographs and illustrations, and Terry Jones dressed up in various garbs!. Written in an accessible and colloquial style, this is a great read for anyone wanting to get a glimpse of real Medieval Lives . Each chapter deals with a major `character', opening with the medieval peasant, discussing his life and work, his status, village life in general, his relationship with the Church and the Peasants' Revolt. From here to the outlaws, gangs and legendary figures of the period, to the monk, the development of monasteries and religious orders, the crusades and Church power. Accompanying a TV series, the book addresses and redresses many of the stereotypical images we have of the Middle Ages. The rest of the books is filled with tales of philosophers, alchemists, magicians, fraudsters, innovators and doctors, chivalric knights, damsels and, ultimately, the king himself. Terry Jones, actor, director, author and Python, approaches this most `misrepresented and misunderstood' period in history through its principal characters. After famine and Black Death, Jones turns his attention to secular and royal minstrels and entertainers, as well as medieval romance and epic tales

Then why does the author state on page 232 that "It is also possible that a small-caliber round hit Kennedy in the rear of the head, driving fragments into his brain." The author has gone to great lengths in this book to PROVE that the bullet that hit Kennedy in the head was fired from the front! Why then does he even admit to the possibility that Kennedy may have been hit in the head from behind? Especially since there are NO entry wounds in the photographs and x-rays of the back of Kennedy's head? Very confusing! And then this: "As many as
