    The Great Famine of 1789-1792 stands as one of the most significant preconditions to the French Revolution. It was a period marked by widespread food scarcity, severe hunger, and social unrest. Although the famine itself was a direct consequence of several intertwined factors, it was also the tipping point that exposed the deep flaws within the French system of governance and society. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the famine, exploring its causes, the impact on the population, and the broader societal repercussions that contributed to the revolutionary atmosphere of the late 18th century. 
At the heart of the famine was a series of poor harvests in France, exacerbated by harsh weather conditions. The years 1788 and 1789 saw a succession of bad weather, including a particularly harsh winter, followed by storms and a devastating hailstorm that destroyed much of the grain crops. These climatic anomalies caused a dramatic reduction in the food supply, especially in the vital grain harvests. With bread being the staple food for the majority of the population, the shortages led to skyrocketing prices. As bread became unaffordable for many, hunger spread rapidly, and it wasn’t just the peasantry but even urban dwellers who felt the pinch. 
This agricultural crisis was further compounded by the weak response of the French monarchy and its institutions. King Louis XVI and his ministers were largely ineffective in addressing the immediate needs of the people. The government, which was already burdened by war debts and an inefficient taxation system, failed to ensure that food distribution was prioritized. The monarchy’s inability to manage the crisis led to widespread dissatisfaction and eroded any remaining faith the people had in their rulers.

    Medieval civilization came of age in thunderous events like the Norman Conquest and the First Crusade. Power fell into the hands of men who imposed coercive new lordships in quest of nobility. Rethinking a familiar history, Thomas Bisson explores the circumstances that impelled knights, emperors, nobles, and churchmen to infuse lordship with social purpose.Bisson traces the origins of European government to a crisis of lordship and its resolution. King John of England was only the latest and most conspicuous in a gallery of bad lords who dominated the populace instead of ruling it. Yet, it was not so much the oppressed people as their tormentors who were in crisis. The Crisis of the Twelfth Century suggests what these violent people—and the outcries they provoked—contributed to the making of governments in kingdoms, principalities, and towns.

    A "fascinating historical detective work" that pins down the real story of the legendary medieval king and the court of Camelot (Spectator). 
 
 
  
The Holy Grail, the kingdom of Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table, and the magical sword Excalibur are all key ingredients of the legends surrounding King Arthur. But who was he really, where did he come from, and how much of what we read about him in stories that date back to the Dark Ages is true? So far, historians have failed to show that King Arthur really existed at all, and for a good reason—they have been looking in the wrong place. 
 
 
  
In this "vivid and thought-provoking" book, Alistair Moffat shatters all existing assumptions about Britain's most enigmatic hero (Birmingham Evening Mail). With references to literary sources and historical documents, as well as archeology and the ancient names of rivers, hills, and forts, he strips away a thousand years of myth to unveil the real King Arthur. And in doing so, he solves one of the greatest riddles of them all—the site of Camelot itself
