Description
Welcome to the Middle Ages—the harsh and fun era when people prayed and killed with the same zeal, feasted and fasted, sinned and repented. The age of fanatics dying for Christ in the Crusades, and hypocrites who called beavers fish so they could eat them on fasting days.
In this audiobook, the author will tell you how, in the Middle Ages, people fell in love and indulged in debauchery, washed themselves and used protection, and drew genitals on the walls of churches. Listeners will also learn at what age people got married, how they lived without a bath, what the marital duty meant, why “a prostitute” is better than “a whore,” and even figure out why the charge of witchcraft against Joan of Arc collapsed.
