The Lascivious Middle Ages: Essays on Everyday Life in Western European Culture

Welcome to the Middle Ages, a violent and joyous era when people prayed and killed, feasted and fasted, sinned and repented with equal fervor. A time of fanatics who died for the faith of Christ in the Crusades and hypocrites who called beavers fish so they could be eaten on Lenten days. In this book, the author will tell about how in the Middle Ages fell in love and promiscuity, washed and protected, drew genitals on the walls of churches. Readers will also learn about the age at which they married, how they lived without a bath, what marital duty meant, find out why a "prostitute" is better than a "whore", and even understand why the accusation of witchcraft against Joan of Arc fell apart.
