Medieval People

This vintage book contains a series of sketches that aim to illustrate various aspects of social life in the Middle Ages. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in European history and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "The Precursors", "Bodo, A Frankish Peasant In The Time Of Charlemagne", "Marco Polo, A Venetian Traveller Of The Thirteenth Century", "Madame Eglentyne, Chaucer's Prioress In Real Life", "The Ménagier's Wife, A Paris Housewife In The Fourteenth Century", "Thomas Betson, A Merchant Of The Staple In The Fifteenth Century", "Thomas Paycocke Of Coggeshall, An Essex Clothier In The Days Of Henry VII", "Notes And Sources", and "Notes On Illustrations". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
