Summary
Henry Knighton (a canon of an abbey in Leicester) and Thomas Walsingham (a monk at St. Albans) were the leading historians of the period at the end of the fourteenth century. Here an intriguing account of a large group of women attending tournaments, colourfully dressed in men’s clothes, armed and on horseback, is included from Knighton’s Chronicle, along with excerpts about two of the revolutionary leaders of the Peasants’ Revolt in 1381, Jack Straw and John Ball: both were captured and beheaded.
