'De Middeleeuwse geschiedenis,' schrijft Dr. Joan Evans, 'is als een geweldig wandtapijt waarop talloze figuren, sommige groots, andere nederig, enkele schoon, andere afzichtelijk, zich aftekenen tegen een vage achtergrond. Er zijn er met een naam en een geschiedenis; velen echter blijven naamloos en onbekend. Maar allemaal onderhouden ze een kunstzinnige relatie met de achtergrond en een zorgvuldige bestudering van die achtergrond met al zijn nuances en schakeringen levert duizenden details op die ons de betekenis der figuren kan doen verstaan.'
Het is die achtergrond die de auteur wil beschrijven. Het gaat haar niet om de politieke of literaire geschiedenis van het middeleeuwse Frankrijk, maar om de elementen van die beschaving.
