Oyez, oyez! Everyday Brussels in the Middle Ages

Oyez, oyez! Everyday Brussels in the Middle Ages

The Middle Ages? Birth of towns, castles, cathedrals and ramparts… Yes, of course ! But what of everyday life? What did knights and their servants, the bourgeois, the clergy, the prostitutes, the children, do? Their work, their prayers, their games? Love and death had meanings for them we still don’t fully understand …Let’s leave the myths and the clichés and give real colour back to an age which was neither somber nor average!

 

Oyez, oyez le dit de Bruxelles au Moyen-âge

Le Moyen-Age? Naissance des villes, châteaux forts et cathédrales, remparts... Oui, bien sûr. Mais la vie dans ce décor? Le quotidien des chevaliers et des manants, des bourgeois, du clergé, des prostituées, des enfants? Leurs travaux, leurs prières, leurs jeux? L’amour, la mort prenaient alors des teintes que nous ne comprenons plus toujours... Loin des clichés, redonnons des couleurs à cet âge, ni sombre, ni moyen!
