By using cutting-edge science to examine human remains and burials, it is possible to gain a new understanding of the past - one that is more intimate and inclusive than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The seven stories in \u003ci\u003eCrypt\u003c\/i\u003e are not comforting tales. We meet the patients at one of the earliest hospitals in England and the victims of the St Brice's Day Massacre. We see a society struggling to make sense of disease, disability and death, as incurable epidemics sweep through medieval Europe. We learn of a protracted battle between Church and State, and come face to face with the archers who went down with the Mary Rose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeautifully written and expertly researched by Professor Alice Roberts, \u003ci\u003eCrypt\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with thrilling scientific discoveries that challenge what we thought we knew about history.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'An addictive picture of medieval Britain from a cutting edge perspective'\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvening Standard\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Roberts, Alice","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51506898731347,"sku":"9781398519251","price":14.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/roberts-alice-alice-roberts-crypt-2025-9781398519251-1182397273.jpg?v=1753903277","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/alice-roberts-crypt-2025","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
