I'm looking for books that explain the life during the medieval ages and how things were done, in various spheres (constructions, tactics, battles, costumes, speech, etc).
Thanks!
It doesn't necessarily cover misconceptions, but A Medieval Life: Cecilia Penifader of Brigstock, c. 1295-1344 by Judith M. Bennett is a pretty well written and concise book about what an average person's life would be like in that time period. I read it as part of an assignment and found it pretty interesting! It doesn't go very far into detail, but it does cover quite a few aspects of life that make it a good introduction to life in the High Middle Ages
