Quotes by Frances Gies (?)

“Theoretically, the curriculum consists of the 鈥渟even liberal arts.鈥�2 But schools rarely teach all seven of the arts, and the emphasis is very unequal. These 鈥渁rts鈥� are 鈥渓iberal鈥� because their purpose is not moneymaking and because they are worthy of a free man. There are seven mainly because people are fond of the number seven, one of the keys to a numerologically ordered universe.”

“He may leave a prescription of herbs and drugs, and recommend diet鈥攑erhaps chicken broth, the milk of pulverized almonds, or barley water mixed with figs, honey, and licorice.”

“Scutage was an aspect of two fundamental historic trends in twelfth-century Europe that profoundly affected the knights. The first was the increasing concentration of power in the hands of a few kings and great princes that gradually professionalized warfare. The second was the economic upturn from the depressed state of the ninth and tenth centuries to the Commercial Revolution of the eleventh and twelfth centuries that raised living standards and inflated prices.”
― Frances Gies, The Knight in History
