If you like learning about medieval life, I greatly suggest the books by Frances and Joseph Gies.

The books might be a bit old, but they tend to cover details that many books skip over (medieval women, for example).

Some marginalia do not need a caption save it's "A chicken riding a goat and jousting with a flower."

LIke many of the marginalia I find, the poster did not cite the manuscript.
