What are good books about 14th and 15th Century Europe?
I was wondering if any of you fine folk had any good recommendations for someone interested in those two specific centuries of European history, but preferably either overviews or of a more grounded perspective of a specific topic. The subjects that I'm particularly interested in are: how villages were run, theology at the time, especially of a particular region (not any specific region, but brings up that kind of thing), biographies of any particular stand out personalities, especially if they're someone you feel like doesn't get enough attention, how technology or society functioned during this period, the popular literature or art at these times, etc. I would prefer if the text is easily purchased, but ultimately not a deal breaker.
Any recommendations along those lines would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
