Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using wide-ranging evidence, Martyn Whittock shines a light on Britain in the Middle Ages, bringing it vividly to life in this fascinating new portrait that brings together the everyday and the extraordinary. Thus we glimpse 11th-century rural society through a conversation between a ploughman and his master. The life of Dick Whittington illuminates the rise of the urban elite. The stories of Roger 'the Raker' who drowned in his own sewage, a 'merman' imprisoned in Orford Castle and the sufferings of the Jews of Bristol reveal the extraordinary diversity of medieval society. Through these characters and events - and using the latest discoveries and research - the dynamic and engaging panorama of medieval England is revealed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although life in the Middle Ages was not as comfortable and safe as it is for most people in industrialized countries today, the term "Dark Ages" is highly misleading. The era was not so primitive and crude as depictions in film and literature would suggest. Even during the worst years of the centuries immediately following the fall of Rome, the legacy of that civilization survived. This book covers diet, cooking, housing, building, clothing, hygiene, games and other pastimes, fighting and healing in medieval times. The reader will find numerous misperceptions corrected. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography and a listing of collections of medieval art and artifacts and related sites across the United States and Canada so that readers in North America can see for themselves some of the matters discussed in the book. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although the book is richly informative, Professor Lynch is more concerned with movements and ideas than names and dates. His frame is Western Europe, though attention is given to both Byzantine Christianity and the impact of Islam. The treatment is broadly chronological but at the heart of the book are separate parallel discussions of monastic life, heretics, friars, and the schools, and two key chapters which deal which deal with the framework of the Christian life, and with the sacraments - those points of contact between Church and the individual men and women who made up Western Christendom itself."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis A Brief History of the Middle Ages by : Philip Myers
Download or read book A Brief History of the Middle Ages written by Philip Myers and published by Ozymandias Press. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In theory, all the soil of the country was held by the king as a fief from God (in practice, the king's title was his good sword), granted on conditions of fealty to right and justice. Should the king be unjust or wicked, he forfeited the kingdom, and it might be taken from him and given to another. According to Papal theorists it was the Pope who, as God's vicar on earth, had the right to pronounce judgment against a king, depose him, and put another in his place.
Book Synopsis Life Middle Ages 3 and 4 by : G. G. Coulton
Download or read book Life Middle Ages 3 and 4 written by G. G. Coulton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1967-04-01 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1910, this book was written to appeal to the increasing body of readers who wish to get at the real Middle Ages; who, however impatient of mere dissertations and discussions, are glad to study genuine human documents, and to check the generalizations of historians by reference to first-hand facts. The Author, therefore, attempted to compile a catena of such documents, each more or less complete in itself, but mostly too long for full quotation by historians. The records here printed represent thirty years' study among all kinds of medieval writings, and could scarcely be outdone in this respect but by scholars who have better work to do. They have been chosen as specially characteristic of the period, and as appealing also to that deeper humanity which is common to all minds in all periods.
