I am creating this as an educational aside. It is in part to help with my research will I write my novel, and part to share my love of history. I will be focusing on the 12th and 13th centuries in my writing, but that does not mean I will limit this site to those couple hundred years. Geographically I will be emphasizing southern France, but like many of you may know or will learn, medieval Europe was much more internationally involved than the Victorian ideal of the peasant farmer who never traveled farther than 10 miles from his place of birth and knew little of the world outside his village.
My first several posts will deal with the general history and set the stage for further discussions. Topics will range from Kings and Popes, to the crusades and chivalry. I would love feedback, questions and comments. Enjoy!
