If you have ever read Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth or its sequel World Without End, you have a sense of what it was like to live in a time when your hard work did not necessarily count for anything. Set during medieval times in England, it was not that it was lawless, but that laws were arbitrarily established by nobility, and many times solely for the expedience and wealth of those who held noble rank.Bright, Randy.
