The medieval era is often associated with dynastic struggles,
gruesome wars and the formidable influence of the Church. But what
about the everyday experience of the royal subjects and common
people? Here, alongside the coronations, diplomatic dealings and
key battles, can be found the fabric of medieval life as it was
really lived, in its folk songs, recipes and local gossip. With a
diverse range of entries - one for each day of the year - historian
Toni Mount provides an almanac for lovers of all things medieval. A
detailed picture is gathered from original sources such as
chronicles, manor court rolls, coroners' rolls and the records of
city councils. We learn not only of the royals and nobles of
official history but also the quarrels of a miscellany of
characters, including William and Christopher of York, Nalle
Kittewritte who stole her neighbours' washing, and Margery from
Hereford who was murdered by an Oxford student. The world in which
they laboured, loved and lived is vividly reimagined, one day at a
time.
