About this book
The fief of St. Aliquis, with its castle, monastery and the nearby town of Pontdebois, stands in for a typical feudal community of the thirteenth century in this picture of everyday life. William Stearns Davis, a professor of history at the University of Minnesota, writes of meals, clothing, falconry, a wedding and the schooling of a young nobleman, then of weapons, the tourney, a siege and the battle of Bouvines. Later chapters take in peasants, pilgrimages, monastic work, trade at a great fair and the building of a cathedral. It was published in New York in 1923.
