A great insight into how medical treatments were developed and also how religions have played a part in it’s development. I would recommend this book.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
An in depth look at some of the most famous Medieval mysteries.
The book analyses them in depth, and tries to sort out the unfounded rumours and 'fake news' from the plausible ones.
Timothy Venning has done an amazing job in researching this fascinating book, and attempting to provide an independent point of view.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Finally! A marvellous look at two forgotten English queens and an interesting account of King John's marital life. Isabella of Gloucester was his first wife, a union that remained childless after it was annulled early on for reasons of consanguinity. Not too much is known about this English bride but the author manages with brio to open a small window into her life. Isabelle of Angoulême is my favorite and her union to John owes a lot to the very complex geopolitical issues prevalent at the time on the continent and the difficult management of the vast Plantagenets Empire. Isabelle deserves today her full biography. As resilient and strong minded as her formidable mother in law, Alienor of Aquitaine, Isabelle was married twice and gave birth to 14 children who managed to reach adulthood. No small feat at the beginning of the 13th century! She was also the matriarch of the clan of the Lusignans whose subsequent move to England will prove to be a godsend.. Read more
