Amy Livingstone's Medieval Lives uses the lives of one aristocratic family in west-central France—the lords and ladies of Beaugency—to provide an introduction to some of the major events and themes of life in western Europe between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. While the Beaugency weren't a particularly prominent family, their very ordinariness (at least as far as aristocratic families go) makes them an ideal focus for this kind of book. Livingstone uses the town where they lived to explore social and economic history for instance, and some of the abbeys which they patronised to look at monastic life and church reform. I could see this working really well as a core text in an introductory course on the High Middle Ages. Livingstone writes clearly and accessibly, and the wide selection of documents in translation at the end of the book are a real boon for use in the classroom. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Through charting the lives of the Beaugency family, this book delves into the history of Western Europe and explores the impact of the changes and events of the period on those who experienced them. The Central Middle Ages were years of profound transformation, and through the two centuries in which they lived the Beaugency family experienced many of the key developments that have characterized the period, such as the launch of the crusades and the emergence of the commercial economy.
