5.0 out of 5 stars A medieval micro history., 18 Nov 2000
By Anthony V. Saunders "slipper" (Chamonmix, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book tells the story of the 14th century villagers and peasants of Montaillou. It chronicles their everyday lives, its importance is far greater than the story of the Cathar heresy, it is the story of the kind of people that are usually forgotten to history.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and entertaining, 28 Jul 2008
By Lennart Edzer Nooij (The Hague, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
Life in the Middle Ages. A fascinating account of ordinary life. While reading, one discovers just how many assumptions one has regarding life in the Middle Ages. Sometimes, it might get a bit dry, but on the whole both enriching and entertaining.
For those not familiair with the Annales-school in history, it will be an eye-opener.
