Medieval Resources
Want to learn more about Charles's times? Want to read some other Middle English authors? Need some sources for a history assignment? Interested in medieval studies but don't know where to start? Just want me to shut up and let you explore the Middle Ages?
Here you'll find online medieval resources, especially primary sources, that I hope will be useful. Standard disclaimer that I don't own any outside links or anything, and due to the ever-changing nature of the web, links may go down or change. Some of these are links to other collections of sources and research guides, so there will be some overlap and plenty I haven't listed. Contact me at orleansian.queries@gmail.com if you have any suggestions, requests, or find a broken link.
