How to Survive in the Age of Knights. A Handy Guide to Defending Your Castle, Dodging the Black Death, and Mastering the Mayhem of the Middle Ages

You've been transported back in time to an age of formidable fortresses, epic sieges, and super-scary diseases ! How will you make it out unscathed ? Do you think you have what it takes to dodge flying arrows from longbows ? Or 1,000-pound stones flung at you from trebuchets ? OK, maybe you're great at dodgeball, so you think you've got that down, no sweat. But how about something smaller and unseen, like the deadly bubonic plague ? FYI, you better not get sick--because left in the hands of a medieval doctor, you might end up worse off after their suggested "cure"! This guide gives you all the know-how you need to survive one of the so-called darkest periods in human history.
From ruthless rulers with grueling punishments for breaking their (sometimes silly) laws, to totally gross living conditions (alas, indoor plumbing is still hundreds of years away ! ) to what to do if you find yourself competing in a jousting tournament (uh-oh), this book gives you all the tips and tricks you need to make it out alive !
