Life on a Mediaeval Barony

This book presents a detailed but well-written view of life in a small medieval town around 1200. It contains numerous fly-on-wall descriptions of different social classes embodied in the characters of the ruling lord, the abbot, the peasant, the market, the wars, etc. The town is fictional. It is an aggregate of features of many medieval towns, viewed affectionately by a scholar who knows and loves his subject.
