Have you ever found yourself watching a show or reading a novel and wondering what life was really like in the Middle Ages? What did people actually eat? Were they really filthy? And did they ever get to marry for love?

In Life in Medieval Europe: Fact and Fiction, you’ll find fast and fun answers to all your secret questions, from eating and drinking to sex and love. Find out whether people bathed, what they did when they got sick, and what actually happened to people accused of crimes. Learn about medieval table manners, tournaments, and toothpaste, and find out if people really did poop in the moat.

Danièle Cybulskie has been researching and writing about the Middle Ages for over a decade. She is the author of The Five-Minute Medievalist and is a featured writer at Medievalists.net. A former college professor and specialist in medieval literature and Renaissance drama, her work has been published across international magazines, spanning topics from The Hundred Years’ War to Roman togas. Her mission is to make history fun, entertaining, and engaging, as well as to draw attention to our shared human nature across the centuries.

"...well organized and accessibly written [...] a good starting point for students of history who want to examine quotidian life." ~Booklist

"An eye opener... Brilliant." ~Books Monthly

"Cybulskie is a good writer, with an easy reading manner that makes the subject easy to understand and the pages fly by. Very nice introduction to the period. Highly recommended, possibly even as a text book." ~Rosie Writes

"To say that this book was fun to read would be an understatement. I honestly did not want to stop reading this book... educational and entertaining all at the same time. Simply a wonderful resource... I highly suggest you include, Life in Medieval Europe to your book collection." ~Adventures of a Tudor Nerd

"...an excellent book... It is refreshing to finally see a book that puts to bed all the false impressions and caricature of medieval life as depicted in so much popular media." ~Battles and Book Reviews
