| Abstract: | The main food systems of the High Middle Ages (XI – XIIth centuries) are limited to the dominant classes and to the producing class. The present study is centered on Western Europe, with its most powerful countries of the period: France, England, Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands. Frugality of hermit, splendour of the prince, need of the warrior, feminine delicacy are the authorities that mark out the medieval social context and establish mealtime behaviour rules. Bread, wine, meat, vegetables, fruit, cheese, spices and water are sine qua non components of our analysis and represent the major elements of the nutritional code, as an argument of the power. |
