Format:Paperback
I read this book out of curiosity and I am glad I picked it up. The book's description of Troyes is quite detailed, complete and at times truly engrossing. The authors cover most aspects of life in the middle-ages and provide some insight in the developments during that time, as well as their significance (although this isn't the book to read if you are mostly interested in detaileed, scholarly historical analyses of the time). To sum up, a very pleasant book to read, full of interesting information about everyday life in another era. Recommended!

I have been researching the Middle Ages for a number of years and this is one of the most even -handed books I have come across. The authors are researchers par excellence, and have presented their findings in an imminently readable form. If I were not already a student of the Middle Ages, however, I might have found the wealth of detail somewhat overwhelming and some of the terms and references obscure. This is a book for people who really want to know.

Believe me, for all you medieval buffs, this is the book to get. Even for those of you who aren't medieval aficionados, this book will be exciting and captivating. The authors get you right in there with medieval life in a bustling city, namely Troyes, capital of Champaign. From government, to defense, and cathedral building, the authors cover a wide range of topics. Read this book!
