March

Saturday March 1, 2008
In medieval Europe, March was the month when the year's first farm work began. In this detail from the calendar page for March of Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, you can see a peasant hard at work behind his plow, pulled by a pair of stout oxen. Get a look at the fields, the sheep, the vineyards, and the expansive castle that overlooks all by visiting the page for March in our Les Très Riches Heures Image Gallery.
