Do you know why the people in the Middle Ages had to shave a chicken’s bottom? They believed this could cure the Black Death! The Middle Ages or the Dark Ages (1000 AD to 1500 AD) were a period in European history. The people were superstitious and they acted in a crazy and strange way. They would make a hole in the head in order to cure headache. Plus, you may be surprised to find that the monks would rob everywhere and the knights were not really gentlemen. Women were not allowed to use make-up or to dye their hair. The public toilets were built over the river – the boatmen underneath had to watch out! It is a funny book and full of interesting but terrible facts of the Middle Ages. It is suitable for both teenagers and adults who have an interest or education in European history.
