Any literature on socialites and high-society living particularly of the middle ages?

>> No.21356812

Huizinga, Autumn of the Middle Ages starts out with a long description of the highest of the high medieval noble life

Marc Bloch, Feudal Society is still a classic go to

Tuchman's A Distant Mirror follows a high noble family through a shitshow of a century and is a fun read

Aristocrats: Power, Grace and Decadence: Britain's Great Ruling Classes from 1066 to the Present by Lawrence James

and

The English Nobility in the Late Middle Ages: The Fourteenth-Century Political Community by Christopher Given-Wilson

are both great if you're looking for something scholarly but not too dry.
