This site is provided by the University of Georgetown. It offers the
text of the seven manuscripts compiled in the ninth century in Wessex collectively
known as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. The texts are all presented in Anglo-Saxon.
Some descriptions of the literature are provided. Other descriptions and
analysis of the texts will be put on-line as they become available. Julie

This site is established and maintained by Simon Keynes at the Richard
Rawlinson Center for Anglo-Saxon Studies and Manuscript Research, at the
Medieval Institute Western Michigan University. This site is very easy
to use and allows the visitor to search an index of Anglo-Saxon literature
and texts. It includes an A-Z classification list of literature that touches
upon nearly every aspect of Anglo-Saxon life, including life, law, religion,
and culture. It offers textbooks, works of reference,, descriptions of
time periods, literature about particular rulers, and collections of papers.
It is a very aesthetically pleasing site, with nice graphics, pictures
and captions, and easy to read text. It is directed at students studying
the time period. Catherine Couture
This site, maintained by Ben Levick, is part of the Angelcynn Anglo-Saxon
Living History. It is mainly text, describing Britain before, during and
after the invasion of the Vikings. The text is not very long and it only
contains one picture (that of a Viking ship). It is good as a brief overview
of the invasion of the Vikings and its effect on the Britons. L Ayr
This website was authored by Canadian scholar Hugh Elton. It is a collection
of essays written by Elton, which focus on the late Roman Army. Essay topics
include barbarization, military aspects of the collapse of the Roman Empire,
and warfare in the Roman world. Another section termed Late Antiquity Index
provides links to a variety of information of this topic. One section contains
images from late antiquity, such as mosaics, paintings, reliefs, sculpture,
and metalwork. The site is beneficial in understanding the events that
led to the fall of the Roman Empire and the emergence of the medieval period.

This site contains a description of the Battle of Hattin. It describes
Salah al-Din's defeat of a Christian force, which was one of the turning
points that led to his recapture of Jerusalem. This selection gives a good
insight on Salah al-Din's genius as Muslim general, and his clever defeat
of the Christian forces. Mark Harasymiw
This site, maintained by Matt Stum, is a picture of the Bayeux Tapestry.
The Tapestry is divided into parts and can't be viewed as a whole. Although
it is hard to grasp the whole Tapestry piece by piece, but the individual
sections do have good color quality. There is also a section at the end
where ceratin sections of the Tapestry are set apart. L Ayr
Dr. Ellis L Knox of Boise State University created this site as a relatively
complete account of all aspects involving the Black Death and its effects
on medieval Europe. Dr. Knox provides a distinctly nasty description of
the disease. "Symptoms include high fevers and aching limbs and vomiting
of blood. Most characteristic is a swelling of the lymph nodes. These glands
can be found in the neck, armpits and groin. The swelling protrudes and
is easily visible; its blackish coloring gives the disease its name: the
Black Death. The swellings continue to expand until they eventually burst,
with death following soon after. The whole process, from first symptoms
of fever and aches, to final expiration, lasts only three or four days.
The swiftness of the disease, the terrible pain, the grotesque appearance
of the victims, all served to make the plague especially terrifying." The
site also gives historical accounts of the origin of the plague, including
its effect on population, economy, culture, art, and politics. The site
is an all-encompassing source of information concerning the bubonic plague.

This site, authored by Ben Levick and Andrew Nicholson of the UK, is
an extremely brief summary of the vast history of the Anglo-Saxons in England,
as the title suggests. The article begins roughly at the end of the Roman
occupation of the British Isles in the fifth century, and concludes in
1066, with the Norman conquest of Britain under William the Conqueror.
The summary quickly covers the influences that Christianity and Teutonic
warrior values had on the civilization, as well as providing genealogies
of major individuals and families. Decent descriptions of the causes and
consequences of major battles are given; the daily life of the average
Anglo-Saxon is also briefly touched upon. This page is recommended for
the student that would like a quick overview of the Anglo-Saxon civilization
before committing to further study. However, a scholar on the subject looking
for in-depth coverage on the topic should search elsewhere. Daniel Arnold
This page, authored by Ben Levick and Andrew Nicholson of the UK, is
a quick summation of the Norman people. The history begins at about the
year 900, with the violent Viking raids of Northern France, especially
the conflicts between the Viking leader Hrolf and the Frankish kings. The
article describes the transition of these peoples as the Vikings, who settled
in Northern France, converted to Christianity and adopted the customs of
the Franks. It was at this point that the people assumed the title "Normans,"
or "men from the North." The article deals with the Norman experiences
in Western Christendom, including their involvement in the Crusades and
their relations with the Anglo-Saxons under Edward the Confessor. This
page is recommended for the student that would like a quick overview of
the Norman civilization before continuing with further study. However,
a scholar in the subject of Normans looking for in-depth coverage on the
topic should search elsewhere. Daniel Arnold
This page, which was authored by a man in Taiwan but is maintained out
of Philadelphia, gives a wide array of information regarding the once mighty
civilization of Byzantium. The article on the page, entitled "Byzantium,
the Shining Fortress," gives an excellent overview of the entire history
of the empire. The page contains a wealth of knowledge on this thousand
year continuation of the Roman Empire in the East. The site also contains
links to other pages with information about the specifics of Byzantine
military, architecture, geography, and religion. This page is an excellent
resource for the Western Civilization student who is searching for a broad-based
history of the Byzantine society. Daniel Arnold
This site, yet another oasis of information in the vast desert that
is Byzantine historical studies, is chock full of information regarding
the history of the civilization, as well as multiple links to other sites
concerning other studies in the Byzantine world. While the site does contain
historical information and interesting images concerning the Medieval continuation
of the Roman Empire, the main focus of the page seems to be to discuss
current studies that are underway, for example in literature and architecture
of that thousand year Empire, that are going on today. Many of the links
related to this page concern these current studies as well. Therefore,
if a student is looking to research these modern studies, this page is
immediately recommended. However, if the student is interested in a direct
historical page, he or she should be referred to the Byzance Opening Page
at http://www.serve.com/byzance/.

This web site comes out of a History of Western Civilization class at
Boise State University. Created by Dr. Ellis L. Knox, it includes information
on some of the important people and issues of the Middle Ages. Charlemagne
and his rule, Carolingians, monasteries, and such significant events as
the coronation of Charlemagne are a few items which can be found within
this web site. Colleen Flynn
This site is located in Poulet Gauche. The document contains a great
deal of information on the sociology of children, adolescence, and marriage,
as well as a perspective on women. A thoroughly interesting article, the
average life of a child is discussed in great detail, as well as the process
they endure as they grow into men and women. A picture heads the site,
and gives the reader a rather poor illustration of a family (at least I
think it's a family-- that's how bad the picture is). This document is
more for a popular audience, such as a body of students, yet it would make
an interesting lecture in civ. Megan Barrie
This page is devoted to Chivalry and its codes of conduct. The codes
of conduct by which chivalrous knights lived by are listed in an outline
order. The author provides this information in order to convey the idea
that chivalry is still present in today's society. He/she tries to make
the link between today's attitudes with those of medieval times. Paolo
De Roxas
This site contains a complete list of Byzantine emperors from 324 (Constantine
I) until 1453 (Constantine Paleologos and the fall of Constantinople).
Beside listing just the names of each emperor and their reigns, quite a
view also have brief descriptions of important happenings in the periods
of each emperor's rule. Mark Harasymiw
This website is provided by Exploring Ancient World Cultures at the
University of Evansville in Indiana. This site gives a chronological listing
of the major events in medieval history and provides a brief write up about
each occurrence. The site also allows the reader to examine various aspects
of the medieval period by providing information including essays, maps
and images, anthologies, and other website listings. Each date listed on
the title page may also be further researched. The site is useful as a
general overview of the time in which primary events of the Middle Ages
occurred. It can help students put these events into perspective with each
other and allow them to attain a better understanding of them. Vanessa
DeMarco
This site written by Ben Lewick is found at the Angelcynn. It contains
detailed description about the way anglo-saxon men and women. It includes
aspect of their appearance that go beyond their basic forms of dress. The
background is colorful but does not distract the reader from the text.
Although it is a long site with a lot of writing, it is able to hold the
readers interest. The writing style is easy to read and it makes use of
different font styles to make the text appealing to the eye. It also includes
breaks in the writing for pictures of the descriptions; some in black and
white and some in color. These pictures, although few in number, are just
right to allow the information from the text to come together and form
a clear picture of the appearances of the Anglo-Saxons. L. Ayr
This article, which appears to have been written by the same authors
that gave us brief histories of the Anglo-Saxons and the Normans (Ben Levick
and Andrew Nicholson), have continued on their quest to provide "fast food"
versions of civilizations. This time, the society covered is that of the
peoples inhabiting the area now known as Wales, in Britain. Commonly known
as Welsh people, and known to themselves as the "Cymry," the primary focus
of the first half of the article is to chide some historians for not differentiating
among the peoples of that area. The authors aid the reader by doing just
that: quickly differentiating among the Celtic, Welsh, and Irish societies.
The second half of the article deals with the social structure of the Welsh
civilization, and touches upon the major social classes, including kings,
nobles, tenant peasants, and slaves. There is a good description of the
kingdoms of the area as well. This page is recommended for those who have
never been able to differentiate among the peoples of Southern Britain,
and would also like to learn a bit about their social structure. Daniel
Arnold
This site is located at the University of Virginia, and is written by
Charleton Cunningham. This document contains information about a sixteen-year-old
girl named Nicole and her experience with exorcism, as well as the fear
of the supernatural that surrounded the French in the sixteenth-century.
Overall, the site proved to be very interesting, easy to read, as well
as informative. Geared more towards the popular audience, this document
would most likely be most useful to students needing an interesting topic
for a civ paper . Megan Barrie
One of the most important aspects of medieval history is the study of
the royal families that ruled the various lands and peoples at various
times. These families were highly responsible for the shaping of boundaries,
battles that ensued, or the enforcement of certain religions or cultures
upon their followers. This site is dedicated to the completely listing
of all the royal families that played a role in shaping our Western Civilization.
The listings are broken down into countries and families, and are organized
quite well. The site, which contains over 21,000 names, is brought to us
by Brian Thomsett at the University of Hull. The page is an excellent quick
reference for those who are confused by or interested in the genealogical
histories of royal families. Daniel Arnold
This site, set up by the University of Pittsburgh, gives a medieval
topographer's rendition of France. The map itself is pretty interesting,
but after staring at it for a little while it begins to hurt one's eyes
in the worst way. The picture of the map is clear, the map itself is not.
It is by no means easy to understand. This site is for scholarly eyes only,
and perhaps the occasional professor. Overall, it is not a site to be recommended.
Megan Barrie
This link is provided by the Department of English of Loyola University
at Chicago. It supplies the on-line issue of Essays in Medieval Studies,v.10,11.
The ten articles of vol. 10 were chosen in honor of the tenth anniversary
of the Illinois Medieval Association, which distributes this journal. The
theme of these essays is death, judgment, heaven, and hell in the middle
ages. Authored by various university and college professors, these essays
provide the reader with different perspectives on the writings and values
of the time period. The previous nine volumes of the EMS will be put on-line
as they become available. Julie Lee
This isn't exactly the most interesting Website in the entire world,
but it is useful if you have a big paper on feudalism due for Civ and haven't
the least idea where to search for sources. The University of Kansas History
Server, where this list is, by the way, calls the list "an index of sources
for the study of medieval history", and that is exactly what it is. It
is a fairly thorough bibliography, as it includes sources for feudalism
in most parts of Europe, as well as the Near East, Asia, and Latin America.
There are even some sources in German and French, if one is so inclined
to read them. Michelle Gaudreau
This site is composed by I.A. Clark of the University of Kansas. It
provides a list of feudalistic terms, listed both alphabetically and by
subject. A bibliography section covers worldwide instances of feudalism,
those in specific geographic areas, and the social science theory. The
site also includes an article by Andre Gunder Frank, which examines the
transitions from feudalism to capitalism, capitalism to socialism, and
socialism to capitalism. The site is useful for defining terms using lists
maintained at Kansas and at Carnegie Mellon University. Vanessa DeMarco
This website is a document about the plague written by Marchione di
Cappo Stefani. It enumerates the symptoms of the plague, methods of disposing
of the dead, numbers of people killed from the disease in Florence before
and after the year 1348, as well as ordinances passed concerning the plague.
This website is extremely informative, and one of the most descriptive
accounts of the plague that I have ever encountered. Christy Bennett
Francois R. Velde is the creator of this site. It is here where a reader
can find everything they would ever want to know about the banishment of
wearing French decoration in public. This document states the actual law
written, and goes on to reveal the punishment if these terms are not met.
Although the article itself was easy to understand, it was not fun to read.
The recommended reader for this site is scholarly audiences with a lot
of time on their hands. Megan Barrie
This page offers a course for beginners in heraldry and was written
by a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. This page will help
understand the all to important art of heraldry as it was meant to be :
a form of writing through symbols communicating the owners, name status
and genealogy. Marc Molenat
A page with plenty of useful links on the topic of heraldry. A must
see for anyone researching the topic. Much information is given on all
aspects of this art form. Marc Molenat
This site is, done by Braun and Schneider, is found at the Southern
Illinois University at Edwardsville. It contains plates of people wearing
costumes from a certain time period. The centuries that are covered are:
the tenth century- France; the eleventh century- a variety of classes;
the twelfth century- a variety of classes; the twelfth and thirteenth centuries-
military and religious orders; the thirteenth century- German and Italian;
and the fourteenth century- German. It is possible to click on any of the
plates and see them in an enlarged version. These larger pictures show
the detail of the clothing found during the middle ages. This site allows
the observer to see the different styles of dress from different centuries,
classes and locations. L Ayr
This Idaho State University site provides a helpful timeline for even
the least of enthusiastic students. Beginning with 1328, this document
breaks down all major events of importance to the outcome of the war with
such ease that one can't help but smile at it's simplicity. Both students
and faculty would benefit from this site, whether for a paper or a teaching
aid. Although the author and sources of the document are unknown, the site
is seemingly credible, and highly recommendable for the popular audience
in search of knowledge. Megan Barrie
This is a very informational page concerning the topic of knighthood
and chivalry. A thorough history of knighthood and chivalry is given. Included
in this history is the procedure used in feudal times for becoming a knight.
Paolo De Roxas
This site is provided by the British Library Board in the United Kingdom.
The opening page shows an image of the actual document, which can be zoomed
in upon to read the original script. A translation of the document is also
available. A brief essay follows giving the historical background to the
Magna Carta. This site is very useful as a view of the original document
in its original language. The end of the page provides a link to the British
Library Publications, which provide information on other historical collections
available on CD-ROM, microfilm, and on-line. Vanessa DeMarco
This site runs from Georgetown University. Here, Matthew White has composed
an image of a map of Anglo-Saxon England. The map divides the island into
three kingdoms: Northumbria, Mercia, and Wessex. A key provides information
on the location of a diocese, archdiocese, Scandinavian Mint, and English
Mint. Danelaw and Offa's Dyke are also marked on the map, as well as several
battles. The site provides a link to the historical context from which
the map is derived. The information is very useful in relating historical
facts to geographic locations. Vanessa DeMarco
This site, produced and maintained by Ali Rezaian, is found in Tony
Belmonte's Historical Atlas of Europe and the Middle East. The opening
page contains a brief discussion of the Dark Ages and the different groups
of people found during that time period. It also contains the following
maps: The Invasion of Italy by the Ostrogoths, 490, Before the Reconquest
by Justinian, 530, The Reconquest by Belisarius and Justinian, 565, The
Invasion of Italy by the Lombards and the rise of the Avars, 600, The defeat
of the Arabs at Poitiers by the Franks, 732, The Frankish Empire at the
Death of Pepin III, 768, The Height of the Frankish Empire under Charlemagne,
800, The Frankish Empire at the Death of Charlemagne, 814, The Final Breakup
of the Frankish Empire, 880, and The Viking Invasions, 910. The maps are
extremely colorful and the labels are found right on the map. These details
make it easy to see the divisions of the land between the groups. L
Ayr
This site is an essay written by Robert Stein and found at Georgetown
University. The essay is entitled "Medieval Studies in a Post Modern Perspective".
It is a detailed piece that is organized into five sections. It contains
good points about students studying medieval history and how the reality
of medieval history differs from the students perspective of it. Yet it
is very long and there are no breaks in the writing to give a minute for
perspective on what is being said. It loses its interest and begins to
seem as if it will never end. L. Ayr
This page, which was written and is maintained by Robert McArthur of
the Queensland Institute of Technology, is just what its title claims to
be: it is a lengthy list of common medieval items and their respective
medieval prices. This site is intriguing, it gives the prices of everything
from eggs to armor. Unfortunately for us Americans, who are often blind
to the monetary systems of the world, the prices are given in British amounts
(pence, shillings, etc.) For the extremely interested students, a quick
look at a newspaper should enable a quick conversion. However, it is still
very interesting to see the items that were commonly sold and or traded
during the medieval times; many of the things precious to modern college
students, like clothing and pints of beer, were important items seven hundred
years ago as well. Daniel Arnold
This website contains a number of articles pertaining to the the medieval
art of brewing ale and wine. Recipes are included as well as a link to
an early medieval village. Cultural information is not included, but the
site can be used as a cook book for those wishing to recreate the festive
part of medieval culture. Therese Shea
This site was created by the Society for Creative Anachronism. It has
many articles about food of the Medieval period. There are also some recipes
which are from the Medieval period. The text is meant for the general public
thus is easy to read. This site would be a good supplement to the lectures
for a civ student. Since a lot of the literature have stories centered
around a feast, this site could be useful as it gives directions on the
proper way to hold a feast. It is definitely a very interesting site.Sarah
Jane Weaver
This study of medieval pollution was given by Robert Laures at a Mid-America
conference on history. The site is is purely his view and only contains
his findings, yet it is interesting in examining the environmental problems
that many believe are new to our history. Laures cites historical figures,
such as St. Bernard and Albert the Great, and examines laws that prove
that medieval culture, too, were concerned about pollution. Therese
Shea
This site, downloaded from the library of congress, gives a broad view
of French art and it's relations to the monarchs and monasteries of the
time. Overall, the site was good in that the pictures were clear and the
main screen gave an abundance of useful information. The only complaint
this reader has is the extensive time it took some of the pictures to download
onto the screen. As many of the sites with pictures are, this site is more
for the popular audience, but can just as easily be utilized by the serious
scholar . Megan Barrie
This site contains information on a society of crusaders known as the
Knight Templars. It was created to dispel myths about the secret society
as well as to arouse interest in those who may have not known about them.
There are connecting sites attached leading to similar medieval interests.Therese
Shea
Based in the Pacific Northwest, this web site is a social and educational
organization based on the precepts of Chivalry and Honour evidenced in
the history and legends of the Dark and Middle Ages. This site contains
many areas that try to re-create the days of knighthood and chivalry. These
areas include guides to "Armoured Combat" and "Codes of Chivalry." This
page offers a lot of information for those that are interested in the chivalry
and events of the middle ages. It tries to re-establish chivalry which
was so wide spread in the days of knights and heroes such as King Arthur
and Beowulf. Several useful items and guides are contained in this one
site. Paolo De Roxas
Regia Anglorum is a "living history" society that researches the lives of the medieval Anglo-Saxons, as well as the Vikings, Norman, and the British peoples. This link focuses on aspects of life in the Middle Ages between the years 950 and 1066. Information is given on the people of the time period, their histories, literature, and numerous general articles, which cover such topics as religion, law, and military organization. This site provides a good overall view of life in the Middle Ages. Julie Lee
Included at Regia Anglorum are the following:
This site is part of the Regia Anglorum Publications. It is a detailed text describing the types of armies, and the men and equipment that make up these armies. It contains quotes from past historians that add to the text. There are only a few pictures and they are small, but you can click on them to enlarge the view and the color is good. The text while giving information about the armies, also provides a picture of the different classes of men and their life-styles. There is also information about the church's role in the military. L Ayr
This site is similar to the "Village of Wichamstow" site. It is a Regia Anglorum Publication. The Manor is a typical center of activity found in the feudal society of the medieval period. The site gives an introduction to the manor and then allows the browser to choose what part of the manor he/she would like to explore. Many of the different areas are texts that are informative and entertaining. There are usually many pictures to go along with the text. This is another great site and it is a lot of fun to explore the different aspects of the manor and the like it contains. L Ayr
This site is part of Regia Anglorum Publications. It is an amazing site.
The opening page from the above link gives you a picture of the village,
Wichamstow. It then gives you a list of different professional who "live"
in the village. You can click on any of them and it opens up to a whole
area of information and pictures of the profession. The colors are great,
the backgrounds are interesting and the text is informative and entertaining.
This site is hard to describe because it never ends; there are choices
and more choices to find out about any aspect of the medieval village.
The site is so entertaining that it is easy to learn while having some
fun. L Ayr
This article, written by Hugh Elton of Trinity College, appears to be
a review of a larger article, "Byzantium and Early Islamic Conquests,"
written by Kaegi, W.E., of Cambridge University. However, the review serves
as a condensed version of the article. The article is full of good information
regarding the city of Byzantium and the early Islamic conquests of it.
The author of the review also critiques the writer's sources and writing
style. This page is recommended if one would like to read a condensed version
of Kaegi's article, and get a decent amount of information out of it, too.
Daniel Arnold
Located in the French Heraldry Page, this site was written by Francois
R Verde. The document itself contains an enormous amount of information
as well as the family tree of the Capetians, the House of Valois, the House
of Orleans, the House of Angouleme, the House of Bourbon, and many others.
Each line comes complete with wives and children, but does not trace the
women's lineage. This site is very easy to follow, and could be used by
anyone. Megan Barrie
This site is authored by Nick Austin of the Landscape Channel in the
United Kingdom. He composed the page to determine where the Normans landed
before the Battle of Hastings. The information is presented in a series
of essays (in 59 parts) dealing with various historical documents and decrees.
The text that follows is divided into two parts. The first part deals with
the clues to the landing site contained in the contemporary source documents,
while the second part looks at the physical evidence gathered by surveys,
aerial photographs, field walking and archaeological work. The end of the
page provides photographs, footnotes, and other sources. The site is helpful
in gaining an in-depth view of the Normans and their invasion of England.
Vanessa DeMarco
The statute was an attempt to enforce the Ordinance of Laborers which
was created to stop the wages of common workers from skyrocketing after
the shortage of labor following the decimation of the work force due to
the Black Death. It was an attempt of the upper class to control the the
commoners who were demanding more than they had ever before. This original
text mirrors the attitude the nobility and lower classes carried for each
other as well as how wide the chasm between the classes actually was. This
site would be a good source for those wishing to study classicism in the
late medieval period. Therese Shea
This is a thesis located at Reed College done by Erich J. Richter. This
thesis contains an analysis of the origin of Feudalism founded in Viking
rule up to the end of the reign of Henry I in 1135. The five parts of this
thesis contains information on the already existing Anglo-Saxon background
in England and the effects of the Normans after the invasion. Also at the
end is a Chronology of Major Events between 1015 and 1135.Kimberly Iraaaaaa
This page, written by Arne Emil Christtensen for the good people at
Odin, gives a very detailed history of the Viking people, from the years
800 to 1050 AD, when the Vikings had their memorable encounters with the
peoples of Northern Europe. the Vikings stormed forth, terrorizing well-established
societies which were accustomed to war, but not to the startling tactics
of the Vikings. The page tells of the overpopulation of the Vikings, the
strategic and military advantages they held, and of settlements they established.
This article is highly recommended for the student who wants an excellent
resource for Viking culture and history. Daniel Arnold
This site chronicles the medieval village of Wharram Percy whose history
actually reaches as far back as when the Vikings first set foot in the
British Isles. The Yorkshire village was thought to have been abandoned
because of the Black Plague, but recent studies tend to stress more economic
reasons. This village is only one of over 3000 such villages that were
deserted in the same way. The site includes descriptions of the town and
the culture of the area as well as links to deeper information. It is extremely
interesting and could be an important source to those examining medieval
villages and overall culture. Therese Shea
This page gives another general overview of the history of a great society,
that of medieval Italy. Although an all-inclusive history of such a topic
could fill volumes, this page does is quickly and quietly in a few short
paragraphs. The article begins with the fall of the Roman Empire, and covers
many of the important topics which have proved to be influential in the
history of that civilization. Religion, foreign leaders such as Charlemagne,
and economic systems like feudalism are all covered in the article. The
page, provided by the philanthropists at the Istituto Geografico De Agostini,
is again recommended to anyone that would like a brief overview of a country.
However, if intricate and detailed study is desired, this page is not for
you. Daniel Arnold
This site was produced by Francois Velde and can be found on Francois
Velde's Heraldry Site under Knighthood and Order of Chivalry. The site
is about two pages of text on evidence of women involved in the medieval
military. It contains section on female orders of knighthood, women in
the military orders, women knights and modern women knights. The text is
easy reading but it is brief. There are descriptions of specific women
involved in military activities. The site does give perspective on women's
involvement in the military. L. Ayr
This page is devoted to knights and chivalry. It contains several images
and stories concerning knighthood and chivalry. It also contains several
sound samples taken from various sources. Paolo De Roxas
