Everyday Life in Medieval London by Toni Mount

But caterpillars? And a defence council for rats saying they were frightened to come to court because of the cats.

Especially about France which was totally nuts and as in England did put animals on trial. The section on the law and courts was very good. It is very light reading which I'm not used to with history books but think it is a) the brilliance of the writer and b) the subject is not a deep one, but one describing many aspects of day to day life.
