Answer :

answer:Here are three books from my bookshelf that are pretty easy reads and that deal with aspects of everyday life in the Middle Ages. They take the subject topic by topic—home life, children, merchants, medical practices, monks and friars, etc.—and that would help you narrow the huge topic you’re proposing. Just one of those aspects (for example, how a housewife spent her day) would probably be enough for your paper. Life in a Medieval City, by Joseph and Frances Gies Life in a Medieval Village, by Joseph and Frances Gies Life in Medieval Times, by Marjorie Rowling All three look like books that might be found in a school library. I got them from Amazon.
