"Life in a Medieval City" is a classic bestseller from renowned historians Frances and Joseph Guice that presents the world of the Middle Ages through the daily life of the French city of Troyes, the historic center of Champagne. 1250. This time is the peak of the flowering of medieval civilization, when former Roman forts like Troyes, strengthened by centuries of defense against ruthless invaders and developing economies, became centers of busy trade routes, wealthy European cities that had yet to face the devastating breath of the brutal wars of the following centuries and the epidemic of the Black Death. The authors reconstruct the lives of rich and poor families, housewives and their servants, merchants and artisans, doctors and schoolboys, while exploring the long-forgotten customs and traditions of the period. Observing how life goes on in a medieval town, where, it seems by the last page, and you seem to have lived for more than one year, - you open a window into a wonderful, complex and colorful world, which even from the point of view of all the achievements of the XXI century can not be called "backward Middle Ages".
