Life in a Medieval Village by Francis and Joseph Gies

Life in a Medieval Village by Francis and Joseph Gies this is a social history of the English village of Elton around the end of the 13th century. The usual topics are covered organization, religion, Justice and industry. A decent enough summary. This would probably serve best as an introduction or as a quick brush up read.

Recommended!

I'm reading the book now and enjoying it a lot. One of the things I like is that because of the subject matter, the book focuses on the every-day, not just the "great" people and events.
