How much did a horse cost during the Middle Ages?
The price of a horse, according to a Medieval Sourcebook (link below) was 10 to 20 shillings for a draft hourse, but could go to twenty times that, or more, for a fine riding horse or a war horse. At that time, a laborer would earn about forty shillings per year, according to the same source. The source shows a lot of variation in prices, so should not be taken as absolute.
Why were books so expensive in the middle ages?
There were no computers or printers. Writers, scribes, journalists, (especially monks) would have only one chance to make one. If they messed up they would have to start over. They would usually only make a few copies because of the time and patience it took for just one. That means the books would be considered rare and most of the time when something is rare it won't be cheap.
In the later middle ages did women work in the kitchen?
Common homes in the middle ages did not have seperate kitchens. Fuel was a significant expense, and ovens were impractical for most individual homes. It was also impractical to maintain a seperate fire for cooking apart from the one used for heating and lighting a home. Cooking was most often done in the main hall or room, over the hearth, or at the fireplace if there was one. Home cooking was boiled, stewed, spit roasted, or cooked on a grill over the fire. Bread was purchased from a baker in towns, and in villages made in a common ovens owned by the lord for a nominal fee. Towns had cookshops that provided pies and filled pastries, both savory and sweet. Ale, a universal food in the middle ages, would have been purchased from an aleseller by townsfolk and brewed in small batches by villagers (both for sale and personal consumption.) Medieval ovens were primitive by modern standards. They were a stone or masonry chamber, usually with a domed top. A fire was built directly on the oven floor to heat it, and once hot the embers would be raked out, the floor cleaned with a cloth, items to be cooked were placed inside, and the front was closed up. The cost, both to build the oven, and also for the extra fuel required, made ovens most practical in situations where large amounts of cooking would be done, such as bakeries, food shops, or in places like castles or monestaries where large numbers of people needed to be fed. Private ovens were a sign of considerable wealth.
