"Life in a Medieval Castle" is a bestselling novel that has introduced countless readers to the everyday world of man in the Middle Ages. Exploring the history of a castle called Chepstow on the border between England and Wales, renowned medievalists Joseph and Francis Guice create an exquisite and highly visual portrait of daily life in the Middle Ages. Their characters are not only the inhabitants of the castle, but also the commoners of the surrounding village, in whose life the lord's castle also played a key role. In a concise, well-structured, and engaging narrative, the authors explain what lords and commoners wore, what they ate, and what they did for leisure, lay out the codes of sexual behavior, and describe the role of honor in medieval culture, the process of knighthood, and how life was organized behind high walls under the constant threat of external attack. Detailed and engaging like a novel, Life in a Medieval Castle is a true find for those who want to learn more about this fascinating era.
