Carnival in Romans by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie "Le Roy Ledurie...is an unusual historian who manages to please both the specialists and a wider public...The interest of Carnival in Romans for the general reader is that it also offers a taste of what people were like, what they cared about, how they behaved in daily life."---New York Times Book Review. This fascinating volume explores how the1580 Carnival in Romans degenerated into a bloody ambush where the notables killed or imprisoned leaders of the craftsman as a result of rancorous issues that had been flaring between Catholics and Protestants for years.
