It never lets go of the period's story, providing opportunities to examine the big picture and investigate particular topics. Discover which English king was killed by a mole, the year when bagpipes were classified as an 'offensive weapon' and a piper was sent to prison for playing them, and which English monarch's body exploded while awaiting burial.
