Britain in the Middle Ages a History for Beginners e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Since, in the early stages of school work, it is more important to present, as vividly, as possible, some of the fundamental historic ideas than to give any out line of events, it is hoped that this collection of stories, told from the chronicles, may provoke readers to discussion and further inquiry. Questions have been included in the appendix, some suggesting handwork, both as a means of pre sentation in lessons and for illustrative purposes. Considerable use has been made of literature as historic evidence. Stories like those of the Knights of the Round Table often leave us With a clearer impression of the spirit of the times than any historic record. Many books of the kind are now easily accessible and could be read side by side.
