Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Medieval Europe is remembered through its monuments-stone castles, soaring cathedrals, illuminated manuscripts. Yet most people never entered a castle, never commissioned a manuscript, and saw cathedrals only from a distance. Their lives unfolded in…thatched cottages, muddy village lanes, cramped workshops, and markets smelling of fish and leather. Understanding medieval society requires looking past the exceptional to find the typical.This book reconstructs daily existence through material evidence and documentary fragments. It follows the agricultural calendar governing peasant life-plowing, planting, harvesting under manorial obligations and communal cooperation. It enters urban households managing apprentices, maintaining ovens, negotiating guild regulations and marriage contracts. It examines food preparation, clothing production, childcare arrangements, and medical practices combining herbal knowledge with religious ritual.Drawing on archaeological finds, manorial court rolls, account books, and guild records, this narrative reveals the textures of ordinary experience. It traces the gendered division of labor in fields and workshops, the precariousness of harvest-dependent survival, the violence of childbirth and infant mortality, and the constant negotiation between individual needs and communal norms. It examines market days as social exchange, alehouses as village politics, and religious festivals as breaks from relentless labor.From sunrise prayers to evening curfew bells, from seasonal migration to urban epidemics, this is the story of how most medieval people actually lived-not in chronicle drama but in repetitive work, small pleasures, communal dependencies, and the struggle to feed families through winter. Medieval daily life reveals the resilience of communities facing scarcity, the creativity of material culture under constraint, and the human dimensions hidden beneath grand historical narratives.
