Just wanted to ask if anyone minds if I post a bunch of really dumb generic questions for the next few months?
I am trying to research a whole bunch of topics for 1385 to 1415, England and France. I know from experience the best thing to do is ask, since others have access to better libraries than I, and can tell me where the info came from as well.First dumb question:
Can someone give the details of a good book full of generic info so I can at least avoid some of the dumb questions I need to ask in the future?
thanks. -------------------- Kelt.

Hi Tim,That is "Singman" I think - Paul Morgan curator of the Higgins (and now Forgeng after an official legal name change). -------------------- Bob R.

Yes, it is "Singman", and I second the suggestion. I have the book in my reference file at work and will post the ISBN when I get there.I'll also cast my vote for - "The Wars of the Roses - From Richard II to the fall of Richard III at Bosworth Field - seen through the eyes of their contemporaries." Edited by Elizabeth Hallam
ISBN 1-55584-240-2 Usually stocked in libraries; usually available through one of the online booksellers for $18-$40. Gwen

Daily life in Chaucer's England
Jeffrey L. Singman and Will McLean
ISBN: 0-313-29375-9Daily Life in Medieval Europe
Jeffrey Singman
ISBN: 0-313-30273-1 Greenwood Press
88 Post Road West
Westport, CT 06881
http//:www.greenwood.com Higgin's Armouryt Gift Shop carries both volumes, cost is $48.00 each. If your local library has little of value in the stacks, you can always do inter-library loan. If you have the correct title, author and ISBN this should be a relatively painless process. Good luck! Gwen

i know theres a osprey english knight book that covers 1400-1500 and one that ranges from 1300-1400. if your looking for reenactment style learning books, check out Embelton's the medieval soldier and um crud cant rememebr the second book title, think its like medieval uniforms or something like that.
