- Resum
- This book describes medieval life choosing a single site (whether a city, village or castle) to represent the characteristics of an entire way of life. By a judicious combination in using excellent local records and comparative data, they pioneered a new method of capturing a whole world of medieval culture, whether in a city, village or castle.
Contents:
* 1. Life in a Medieval City. -- Depicts life circa 1250 in Troyes, capital of the rich county of Champagne, seat of a bishop and site of the two famous fairs of Champagne. (244 pages)
* 2. Life in a Medieval Village. -- Depicts medieval life in the village of Elton, north of Cambridge. The authors chose this English village as its surviving medieval records are so rich. (252 pages)
