The period covered by this volume, roughly 800-1450, was one of
enormous change in the way people lived in their houses. Medieval
people could call a grand castle, a humble thatched hut, or
anything in between home, but houses were more than physical
spaces. They changed according to technological developments,
climatic needs, geological limitations and economic resources. They
were also moral units that were themselves symbolic, economic,
gendered, and social. At the beginning of our period, the movement
of people, goods, and ideas, and the need for defense against some
of this movement had an impact on how and where people lived. The
codification of laws shaped how people understood the physical
integrity of their homes, the reception they should give to those
who wanted to enter, and their identification with the house
itself. As European economies expanded in the twelfth century,
householders increasingly had access to items that changed their
day-to-day lives within their houses. This volume argues that
through a house and its uses, occupants created, sustained, and
understood their relationship to each other and their society.
