From tales of chivalrous knights to the barbarity of trial by ordeal, no era has been a greater source of awe, horror, and wonder than the Middle Ages. In handsomely crafted prose, and with the grace and authority of his extraordinary gift for narrative history, William Manchester leads us from a civilization tottering on the brink of collapse to the grandeur of its rebirth: the dense explosion of energy that spawned some of history's greatest poets, philosophers, painters, adventurers, and reformers, as well as some of its most spectacular villains.

Don’t buy, gold is wearing off.
Color: Paperclip - Gold, Size: 7 inch, Color: Paperclip - Gold, Size: 7 inch
It’s a nice sturdy bracelet; however, after having had for less than 2 months the gold is wearing off. Not happy. Too late to return. So I would not recommend purchasing.

Do not buy in advance because they won’t size it!
My husband ordered this ring a month ago & gave it to me & it doesn’t fit. I need a bigger size. I took it to a jewelry store to get it larger & they told me they don’t think it’s solid gold. I can’t get it larger! I think if you want to exchange a ring after a month they should honor it for size as I never wore it.
