This study draws together all available information to build up a rich picture of the political, religious, and cultural life of the period from the mid-thirteenth to the mid-fifteenth centuries when the accomplishments of this independent city in the fields of architecture, sculpture, painting and ceramics were so great that today the Thais consider Sukhothai to have been their first national capital and cradle of culture.
