On this site you'll find detailed timelines,
details of key medieval episodes, biographies of medieval people,
photographs of medieval places,
maps and
3D CGI reconstructions of ruined castles and abbeys.
What makes this site different, is that each related event, person and place is
linked to produce a web of information. This site is generally about British
Medieval History because I live in Birmingham, England but the site is
constantly being updated and I hope to cover other areas.
The timelines provide lists of events covering the medieval period from 800AD to
1499AD. Although the timelines only show a brief one-line description of each event,
you can click the events to get more detailed information. Timelines are also arranged
by category such as military events, or architectural events.
What I call 'Episodes' are sections of History that consist of a series of
linked events and people. You will find that many history books devote chapters
in a similar way. Each Episode consists of an overview, a list of events and a list
of the people involved.
Here you will find an A to Z list of some of the important Medieval people,
detailed information about the Kings of England, and information on the
Rulers of Scotland.
Each person has their own expandable timeline, family tree and links to related
people and places.
The maps show the location of over 500 Medieval places in England, Scotland
and Wales. Each point on the maps links to either detailed information on
this site, or to MultiMap.com to show its exact location. Also available here
is an A to Z list of places with photographs, timelines and information about
each place. You can search for medieval places near
where you live, near other medieval places or via OS Coordinates.
