@AnnaHollinrake ok ok not *medieval* history, but let me recommend the story of Toussaint L'Ouverture, as detailed in The Black Jacobins (old book, but v readable & also notable as a book that inspired many African independence movements)Look on archive.org

@AnnaHollinrake it's the story of Haitian independence, which came about from a series of slave revolts that succeeded in taking control of the country. Lots of political stuff tangled up with the French Revolution.Permalink Look on archive.org
