During the High Middle Ages, more than nine out of ten Europeans lived in peasant communities. In Life in a Medieval Village, Frances and Joseph Gies draw on archeological discoveries and contemporary documents to explore this long-lost world.The Gieses focus on Elton, England, which was in many ways typical of European villages of the time. They not only had to grow or raise all of their own food, but were also required to cultivate the fields of the lord who provided them with land and protection.
Life in a Medieval Village also explores the origins of this unique style of community, as well as its eventual demise. Readers will learn how medieval laborers worked and played, how they administered town affairs, and what roles the local lord and the Christian Church played in their lives. This lively, detailed portrait shows how life was really lived by most Europeans seven
