Primarily for students of medieval history, nothing from a specifically literary text has been included. Only material from record sources is provided as these are the only written materials that permit some measure of personalized contact with specific men and women from the past, so this gives them a special importance.


Since the audience for this text is assumed to be primarily students of medieval history, nothing from a specifically literary text has been included. Further, since archaeology deals in artifacts and other physical remains, it is impractical to supply material from that discipline. Therefore, only material from record sources is provided . . . These are the only written materials that permit some measure of personalized contact with specific men and women from the past, so this gives them a special importance. – from the Introduction
