Recounts the rise of the Coterel family as a notorious criminal gang in fourteenth-century England.

In the turbulent heart of fourteenth-century England, the line between law and lawlessness was perilously thin.

This compelling narrative uncovers the true story of the Coterel family -- a lesser gentry household whose name became synonymous with criminal enterprise in medieval Derbyshire. Drawing on extensive archival sources, the book traces the rise of James Coterel and his brothers, exploring how social disruption, famine, and war shaped their transformation from respected landholders to leaders of one of the era's most notorious gangs.

Through vivid accounts of extortion, armed raids, kidnapping, murder and alliances with figures from every stratum of society, The Coterel Gang's Reign of Terror exposes the brutal realities of medieval crime and justice. Far from the romanticised legends of outlaws, the Coterel gang's story is one of opportunism, survival, and adaptation in a world where official authority was fragile and local loyalties ran deep.

Discover how the Coterels navigated shifting allegiances, manipulated legal systems, and built networks that reached from the village church to the king's own courts. Their exploits offer a rare window into the everyday violence, corruption, and resilience of medieval England.
