information on the everyday life and the social frameworks in medieval Europe, as well
as a number of subject-related timelines. It details aspects of everyday life as well as
contextual material related to social rank and heraldry, notable places, and religious

could have been more opinionated by the author. Although this is a great reading, it
cannot be used solely as the only source for a research paper that is for the Dark Ages as
my paper is on. This just gives me insight into the Middle Ages and the medieval times.
I love the variety of information that is easily readable and easily digested.

medieval life in Europe, the Scandinavian north, Slavic east, Byzantine, the Muslim
south, and the world of Judaism. It is wonderful how it explores the conditions of daily
life, contains major and minor figures of
