Parts of the book examines the household, and thus the private sphere. The reader is introduced to the family and the household of the Middle Ages, which was led by the husband, who, in his own home, could dispose of all the values in the household and was allowed to discipline his wife, children, servants and slaves at his will. In the book you can read about heritage, marriage and the relationship between the genders. It is clear to the reader that there was not much privacy for common people.
