"Life in a medieval City" is a classic bestseller from famous historians Frances and Joseph Gis, in which the world of the Middle Ages is presented on the example of the everyday life of the French city of Troyes, the historical center of Champagne. The year is 1250. This time is the peak of the heyday of medieval civilization, when former Roman forts, such as Troyes, having strengthened in centuries-old defense against ruthless invaders and developing the economy, turned into centers of intersection of busy trade routes, rich European cities that had yet to face the devastating breath of the brutal wars of the next centuries and the epidemic of the Black Death. The authors reconstruct the way of life of a rich and poor family, a housewife and her servants, a merchant and a craftsman, a doctor and a schoolboy, simultaneously telling about the customs and traditions of that period that have long sunk into oblivion. Watching how life goes on in a medieval city, where, it seems to the last page, you yourself seem to have lived for more than one year — you open a window into an amazing, complex and colorful world, which even from the point of view of all the achievements of the XXI century can not be called "backward Middle Ages".
