A Day in the Life of a Peasant "In our effort to bring you the very worst of the Middle Ages, we've compiled a day in the life of a French peasant who encounters such giggly things as ergot poisoning, leprosy, starvation, and the eventual overthrowing of his lord. Cat torture! Strange religions! Self-flagellation! All this and more". One of the many irreverent (but factual) articles from History House. (Mechans may also love "Love a Fez" parts I and II: The History of the Fez in Turkey.)
