Terry Jones' Medieval Lives by Terry L. Jones
A lively, myth-busting exploration of medieval society that profiles a range of archetypal figures—knights, monks, peasant women, heretics, queens and more—using primary sources, archaeology and wry commentary to strip away romanticized myths and reveal the often brutal, pragmatic realities of daily life, faith and power in medieval Europe. Combining accessible scholarship with storytelling, the book challenges modern assumptions about chivalry, the church, social mobility and gender, and emphasizes regional and class differences that shaped people’s lived experiences across the Middle Ages.
