LIFE ON A MEDIEVAL MANOR

In addition to eye-catching visuals on every page (all fully captioned), the book features timelines, maps, and numerous fact boxes. Main subjects are divided into 14 two-page spreads with artwork and decorative borders attractively arranged around text passages. Subtitles add focus and glossary terms are printed in boldface. Topics include the working lives of peasants, serfs and free peasants and what they did, peasant homes and the homes of the lords of the manor, the manor court and peasant rebellions, and women’s, children’s, and tradespeople’s roles on the manor.
