Description
The author describes the lives of five obscure men and women of the Middle Ages, and one famous one, gleaned from account books, records, letters, diaries, and wills to make the account of those times as concrete and comprehensible as our own times. There are full-length portraits of Bodo, a Frankish peasant; Marco Polo; Madame Eglentyne, the Prioress of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales; the wife of a fourteenth-century Parisian bourgeois; and two English merchants of the fifteenth century, Thomas Betson of the wool trade and Thomas Paycocke, a clothier.
