28 Oct 200058 minTV-PG
The Black Death killed half of medieval Britain's population and condemned those who lived, including King Richard II, to decades of anarchy and unrest. Renowned historian Simon Schama continues his look at British history with an investigation into the horrors and consequences of this plague. While many perished, it also created an unlikely breed of survivor in the form of the country gent.
