The Bigod Earls of Norfolk in the Thirteenth Century

by Marc Morris

Book Overview

Study of one of the most influential aristocratic families of medieval England.

The Bigods were one of the most powerful and important families in thirteenth-century England. They are chiefly remembered for their dramatic interventions in high politics. Roger III Bigod (c. 1209-70) famously led the march on Westminster Hall in 1258 against Henry III, while Roger IV Bigod (1245-1306) confronted Edward I in 1297 in similar fashion.
