Description
Professor Robert Bartlett, one of the world's greatest authorities on the Middle Ages, investigates the intellectual landscape of the medieval world. In Power, Professor Bartlett lays bare the brut...al framework of the medieval class system. Inequality was as part of the natural order, the life of serfs little better than those of animals, the knight's code of chivalry more one of caste solidarity than morality. The class you were born into determined who you were.
