I recommend this book to all lovers of medieval times (and also to all those who are a little less); it is very interesting in that it goes beyond the usual while remaining very "readable", within the reach of everyone. I had extensively studied the Middle Ages in high school, but this book has taught me many things hitherto ignored. Offer it, read it, and without moderation! The downside, however: I was very "aggrieved" by all the misspellings and syntax; it is not a good point for either the publisher nor for the correction, nor for the author ... This is why I give him four stars because a book has to be perfect on the map printing, is not it?
