"Marriage and Family in the Middle Ages" continues the classic bestselling popular science series about life in the Middle Ages by renowned scholars and history writers Joseph and Frances Gies. This is a fascinating account of the evolution of the family during the medieval period.

For many centuries, the family—the fundamental social unit—was of paramount importance. Beyond its obvious economic, religious, social, and educational significance, marriage was simply a guarantee of survival and well-being for both men and women.

In their book, the authors trace the development of marital traditions throughout the Middle Ages, noting how Roman and "barbarian" cultural currents, merging and transforming under the influence of the Christian Church, created new concepts, customs, laws, and practices; many of these governed family life until very recently, and some remain in place to this day.
