"Life in a Medieval Castle" is a bestseller that introduced countless readers to the everyday human world of the Middle Ages. Exploring the history of a castle called Chepstow on the border between England and Wales, the famous medievalists Joseph and Francis Gies create an exquisite and extremely visual portrait of everyday life in the Middle Ages. Their heroes are not only the inhabitants of the castle, but also commoners from the surrounding village, in whose life the lord's castle also played a key role. In a concise, perfectly structured and engaging narrative, the authors recount what lords and commoners wore, what they ate and what they filled their leisure time with, set out codes of sexual behaviour and narrate the role of honour in medieval culture, the process of being knighted and how life was arranged behind high walls under the constant threat of external attack. Detailed and fascinating, like a novel, "Life in a Medieval Castle" is a genuine find for those who want to learn more about this amazing era.
