Book Description
"In a researched text, the author argues for Coventry's Roman past, long doubted, and explores its Saxon roots as home to the monastic houses of St. Osburg. He throws new light on Leofric and Godiva, including their involvement in the foundation or endowment of St. Mary's Priory, and using recent excavation work he reveals the most up-to-date ideas on its appearance and its destruction. The city's later medieval past is explained in detail, including its rise to power in the Wars of the Roses, when the royal court moved to the city, and the connection with Henry VI and his cult.
