Pretty good. Especially interesting to see how England and Scotland were already in the process of integrating, and might have continued to naturally join after the death of Alexander III of Scotland – if not for Edward I raising punitive taxes for a French war he didn’t need to fight and ended up resolving diplomatically, with the result that it stoked Scottish rebellion led at first by William Wallace and then Robert the Bruce. It was nice to indulge in a little Mediaeval history, and found the Scottish history of the period more engaging than I’d expected.
