Recently I`ve been watching `The Pillars Of The Earth` which is a fantastic mini series based on Ken Follets best selling novel of the same title.

It is set during the war of succession (The Anarchy) in 12th century England ...

`The Pillars of the Earth is a historical novel by Ken Follett published in 1989 about the building of a cathedral in the fictional town of Kingsbridge, England. It is set in the middle of the 12th century, primarily during the Anarchy, between the time of the sinking of the White Ship and the murder of Thomas Becket. The book traces the development of Gothic architecture out of the preceding Romanesque architecture and the fortunes of the Kingsbridge priory against the backdrop of actual historical events of the time.`
