Dramatization
1) The Runaway (1360-1367)
England in the 14th Century. Twelve-year-old Robin’s world is turned upside down when his father, the Earl of Waringham, dies in disgrace. His inheritance lost and his family name dishonoured, the penniless Robin must begin a new life as a peasant on his own estate.
11 hours and 20 minutes
2) The Wheel of Fortune (1367-1378)
Robin has made a powerful ally in the Duke of Lancaster. But he has made powerful enemies too. Returning to England the wheel of fortune keeps turning and as the years pass Robin and his friends must face trials and tragedies: plague, war and political intrigue are never far away. And Robin must confront horrors at home which rival even the bloodshed he has experienced in the ongoing wars against France….
17 hours and 39 minutes
3) Revolutions (1368-1399)
At the age of 30, Robin is an Earl at last - but not the Earl of Waringham, the ancestral title that he still hopes to win back one day from Mortimer.
England has seen other changes too: Edward III is dead and his successor, the boy king Richard II, is at odds with his uncle, the Duke of Lancaster. The introduction of a hated new poll tax brings about one of the most dangerous episodes in English history and Robin finds himself embroiled in the Peasants’ Revolt.
