Medieval society created many kinds of records and written
material which differ considerably, giving us such sources as last
wills, sermons, manorial accounts, or royal biographies. Primary
sources are an exciting way for students to engage with the past
and draw their own ideas about life in the medieval period.
Understanding Medieval Primary Sources is a collection of essays
that will introduce students to the key primary sources that are
essential to studying medieval Europe. The sources are divided into
two categories: the first part treats some of the many generic
sources that have been preserved, such as wills, letters, royal and
secular narratives and sermons. Chapter by chapter each expert
author illustrates how they can be used to reveal details about
medieval history. The second part focuses on areas of historical
research that can only be fully discovered by using a combination
of primary sources, covering fields such as maritime history, urban
history, women s history and medical history.
Understanding Medieval Primary Sources will be an invaluable
resource for any student embarking on medieval historical
research.
