 * My topic was Homes and Households in the Middle Ages. In the middle ages wealthy peoples homes were a lot more elaborate than the peasants homes.Their floors were paved with tile,and there were tapestries on the walls not only for decoration, but also for warmth. Fenestral windows with lattice frames, would allow light, let ut drafts, and could be taken out in good weather. For peasants, homes were not nearly as great. The walls were mad eof waudleand daub, there were no chimneys, and the ceilings were thatched. the floor was strewned with straw and herbs, and they only had simple furniture like a wooden table and some chairs. The homes were tall, and sometimes wooded, they were also very narrow, so the houses would sometimes lean. They were also wet and smokey from fires and rain. The rooms would typically be very wet and cold. **
