_The Royal Palaces of Tudor England_ by Simon Thurley, ISBN 0-300-05420-3.
Chapter 9 is a splendid batch of info from many period sources about the
kitchen, its staff, and equipment. Anyone interested in the general daily
life of people in a royal castle should RUN AND BUY THIS BOOK! It's
excellent. Chapters include:
Royal Houses in the Middle Ages... Purpose and Function... Style and Form...
The Outward Chambers... Sports & Recreation... Hygiene & Sanitation, among
others. It even has a full color pic of Queen Elisabeth's potty chair (I
smell an Art/Sci project) ;-). 329 illustrations, most in color. It won't
be cheap. I got mine thru the Yale U Press annual closeout sale for a song.
Wonderful source material for anyone interested in late period castle life.
Walk in peace,
Wolfmother
