Welcome to the Middle Ages—a cruel and joyful era when people prayed and killed, feasted and fasted, sinned and repented with equal fervor. A time of fanatics who died for their faith in Christ in the Crusades and hypocrites who called beavers fish so they could be eaten during Lent.

In this book, the author will tell us about how people in the Middle Ages fell in love and fornicated, bathed and used contraception, and painted genitals on church walls. Readers will also learn about the age at which people got married, how they lived without a bath, the meaning of marital duty, why a "prostitute" is better than a "whore," and even the reason why the witchcraft accusation against Joan of Arc fell apart.
