Pages: 196
In this classic of social history, noted medieval scholar Eileen Power recreates the lives of six ordinary people who lived during the Middle Ages. Drawing upon account books, diaries, letters, records, wills, and other authentic historical documents, she brings to vivid life:
- Bodo, a Frankish peasant in the time of Charlemagne
- Marco Polo, the well-known Venetian traveler of the 13th century
- Madame Eglentyne, Chaucer's prioress in real life
- A Parisian housewife of the 14th century
- Thomas Betson, a 15th-century English merchant
- Thomas Paycocke of Coggeshall, an Essex clothier in the days of Henry VII
Largely untouched by fame (with the exception of Marco Polo), the lives and activities of these common people offer a unique glimpse of various aspects of the medieval world — peasant life, monastic life, the wool trade.
