The History of England show

Summary: <p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px;">Over the 13th century, economic growth continued. For the Peasantry, this gave some opportunities; more chance to sell their produce and get involved in a wider range of money making ventures. It meant that population growth continued, since cottagers and wage earners were able to make enoiugh to get by on small plots of land; and so the density of landholding grew. During the 13th century all of this is fine - but there could be trouble ahead. </span></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=s70Z3aKkMVQ:N0lI97aFMsc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=s70Z3aKkMVQ:N0lI97aFMsc:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></a> </div>
