Capelburgh Revixit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502492715)

Part of imagining yourself back in the Middle Ages involves addressing the many ethical and moral issues that confronted people back then - and trying to imagine yourself with the limited knowledge and even more limited technology available to them. Naturally the solutions my hero adopts are in harmony with the greater knowledge we have today and I'm not sure how well his decisions would have been accepted back in 1350! Of course, it helped that George has the power of life and death over his villagers - and they know it - so what he says goes, but it does raise interesting questions about our approach to people in the Third World, who in many ways are the equivalent of mediaeval Europe. As you read this book - and read it you will, I hope - try to put yourself in George's place. Would you adopt the same solutions, and if not, what reasons would you give for your decision?
