Christina: A Medieval Life(2008)
Christina: A Medieval Life Synopsis
Michael Wood explores village life in 14th century England, a time of plague, war and famine. Through the use of a remarkably complete set of documentary records, he explores one village - that of Codicote in Hertfordshire - looking at its boom times and its poorer times. Wood brings the period to life by focusing in on one family, that of the poor peasant Christina Cok, her father Hugh, her estranged husband William, and her children John and Alice. By looking at the poorest members of Codicote's society, Wood approaches his history from the bottom-up rather than taking the traditional historical approach of top-down, 'kings and barons' story-telling.
Christina: A Medieval Life (2008) is a documentary and history film directed by David Wallace, released on May 5, 2008 with a runtime of 1h. It stars Michael Wood.
