The time traveller's guide to medieval England

So readable! Lose yourself in another time, another world. Not a nice world, but delicious in the details.

An excellent place to begin when looking at Medieval Times. Not a scholarly work, but a great introduction. I'd recommend this book first before moving on to the books of Joseph & Frances Gies. It's very casually written and focuses on the sensory experiences and some of the daily grind that other books may not have.
