Jean Verdon explores the role of pleasure in the Middle Ages: sexuality, controlled by the Church; the table and wine, present even in monasteries; and diversions, from popular festivals to tournaments. With examples from various estates, Jean Verdon offers a vivid and demystified picture of medieval customs.
