Questions about Late Dark Ages/ Early Medieval Society?

it might be best if you posted your questions on different things seperately, as there is a great deal that can be said on all those subjects, and there is a limit on how many words you can use in one answer.

However, there are lots of good books on medieval life that will give you more detailed answers to your questions. I would suggest the following;

life in a Medieval City, Life in a Medieval Castle, Life in a Medieval Village. All by Frances and Joseph Gies. A very good trio of books that will give you a good idea of how people lived in medieval times.

daily Life in the Middle Ages by Paul B. Newman. A very good book about medieval life, covering food, clothing, housing, hygiene etc.

the Year 1000 by Robert Lacey and Danny Danziger. Very good book about Anglo Saxon England.

Daily Life of the Vikings by Kirsten Wolf. very good book covering how people lived in the Viking age.

So ask them! Game of Thrones is more historically convincing than 90% of the historical dramas on TV. But ask them separately, not together - nothing's harder to respond to adequately than a 'tell me everything about these six subjects' question.

Game of Thrones doesn't take place in the past...it's another planet.
