Our understanding of life in the early Middle Ages is dominated by Christian churches and monasteries. This book uses a rich set of alternative sources to explore the lives of the early medieval laity beyond their interactions with churches and monasteries, and casts fresh light on a part of the medieval world which is usually hidden from view.
