History

LABARGE, Margaret Wade

Hamish Hamilton

Adventure, religion, politics, amusement: they're all here in abundance, in this vivid account of the upper-class men and women who journeyed the world in medieval days. With information culled from personal writings, chroniclers' notices, and varied financial reports, it presents a surprising and fascinating portrait of the age--including a vision of touring so lavish and comfortable that it puts contemporary travel to shame. And, contrary to expectations, even in those plane-free days, some people covered thousands of miles a year. Among the medieval globetrotters: Sir Thomas Becket; Mary, the daughter of Edward I and a most restless nun; and Bertandon de la Broquiere, the Burgunidan squire who disguised himself as a Turk to join a caravan returning from Mecca.

Women in Medieval Life: A Small Sound of the Trumpet

Beacon Press

A small sound of the trumpet: women in Mediaeval life

Based mainly on the household roll of Eleanor of Montfort (sister of Henry III and Countess of Leicester) in 1265, this absorbing work offers insights into the aristocracy’s domestic existence during the Medieval period. A wealth of information brings the family’s daily fare and activities alive: what they ate and drank, what they wore, how they amused themselves, and how much this lavishness cost. Additional captivating particulars from a contemporary treatise on etiquette and household management complete the picture of social customs at the time.
