Book Description
From acclaimed historians Frances and Joseph Gies comes the reissue of their classic book on day-to-day life in medieval cities, which was a source for George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series. Evoking every aspect of city life in the Middle Ages, Life in a Medieval City depicts in detail what it was like to live in a prosperous city of Northwest Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The year is 1250 CE and the city is Troyes, capital of the county of Champagne and site of two of the cycle Champagne Fairs—the “Hot Fair” in August and the “Cold Fair” in December. European civilization has emerged from the Dark Ages and is in the midst of a commercial revolution. Merchants and money men from all over Europe gather at Troyes to buy, sell, borrow, and lend, creating a bustling market center typical of the feudal era. As the Gieses take us through the day-to-day life of burghers, we learn the customs and habits of lords and serfs, how financial transactions were conducted, how medieval cities were governed, and what life was really like for a wide range of people. For serious students of the medieval era and anyone wishing to learn more about this fascinating period, Life in a Medieval City remains a timeless work of popular medieval scholarship.

Book Description
This book follows the tradition of teaching history in a story-based format. The often-politicized "social studies" approach to history focuses on economic and class underpinnings of historical events and on interpreting history rather than teaching its facts. Why are we not surprised that this leaves kids - from elementary through high school - totally disinterested and annoyed? If a kid remembers what 'feudalism' is, but can't recall a single story about Charlemagne, Richard the Lionheart, or Barbarossa, their history teacher may want to look into actually teaching history! "If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten," said Rudyard Kipling. To create a memorable narrative for kids, I have gone back to many original sources of historical tales and anecdotes, such as medieval chronicles and sagas, and retold their stories in a way most likely to engage a modern kid. I haven't included any gruesome details, nor anything outside of traditional family-friendly morality. The list of historical and legendary figures featured in this book includes: King Arthur, Charlemagne, Erik the Red and Leif Eriksson, Alfred the Great, Edward the Confessor, William the Conqueror, El Cid, Thomas Becket, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, Frederick Barbarossa, St. Francis, Marco Polo, Dante, Fra Angelico, Joan of Arc and Johannes Gutenberg. I believe that illustrations are important in helping kids (and grownups!) visualize and retain a historical narrative. So this book is richly illustrated with reproductions of historical paintings and photos of medieval artifacts. I selected mostly late 19th century and early 20th century realistic paintings to most accurately portray historical events, costumes, and environments.
