A surprising look at how medieval etiquette can improve our lives today, from the author of the popular How to Live Like a Monk

Medieval people are often portrayed as having poor hygiene and table manners―licking their knives or throwing chicken bones on the floor. In the Middle Ages, however, such behavior was not tolerated. Medieval society cherished order in nearly every facet of life, from regular handwashing to daily prayer. There were consequences if you didn’t adhere to the rules of good behavior: you wouldn’t be invited to the lord’s next dinner, you wouldn’t win the battle, and you wouldn’t win the lady.

Author Daniele Cybulskie explores the world of medieval etiquette, encompassing table manners and interpersonal relationships as well as running a household and ruling a kingdom. With wit and insight, Cybulskie draws on a wide variety of primary sources, from handbooks for young knights to romantic poems. Though we may no longer need best practices for things like dueling or ordering about our servants, the principles of generosity, kindness, and respect still apply today. After all, it’s a good reminder to “not talk when you have food in your mouth” and “anything you say should be entertaining, polite, and sophisticated.”

Illustrated with original drawings by Anna Lobanova as well as eighty medieval artworks, Chivalry and Courtesy is full of good advice for everyone, whether you are a peasant or a knight, a student or a CEO, a king or a queen.

Avid Reader

Well-detailed and sure to keep you engaged!

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2023

The first thing that comes to mind when anyone hears “medieval” is knights, kings, queens, and peasants. Poor living, poor manners, poor hygiene, and the list goes on. We get so much of our opinions from most movies, that it’s hard to believe otherwise. However, author Daniele Cybulskie is here to open readers’ eyes to the truth. What is the truth? Well, the truth is – medieval times weren’t as uncouth or barbaric as the movies would have us to believe. In the first few pages of this book, the author takes steps to quickly engage those interested in learning more about this specific era in time.
Reading that “beauty was seen as an outward sign of inner virtue” many readers will think “well, that’s nothing new.” The more beautiful you were perceived the more virtuous you must have been, thereby more desirable to have. However! Reading that even priests were meant to be handsome?! You’re getting a lot of information, but you’re getting them in easy-to-digest bites.
For readers who enjoy delving deep into history, or want to learn more about how the Middle Ages compares to today Chivalry and Courtesy by Daniele Cybulskie is a must-read. Packed with information and photographs of items or elements that relate to the time are sprinkled throughout it. Each chapter is well-detailed and is sure to keep you engaged as you learn something new.
