Description
Life in a Medieval Castle offers an intimate portrait of life during the Middle Ages, focusing on a castle called Chepstow on the border between England and Wales. Joseph and Frances Gies provide a detailed account of what day-to-day life was like for lords, serfs, and commoners alike.
The book explores the many aspects of medieval life, including clothing, food, leisure activities, songs sung, and codes of conduct that maintained order. It also delves into the role of honor in medieval culture, the initiation process undertaken by knights, and how castles attempted to keep outside threats at bay.
