A lavishly illustrated guide to the medieval world covering the years 500 to 1500 around the world, including the Crusades, Marco Polo's travels to China, the Aztec Empire and more. Full of fascinating facts, maps and time charts, with contents and index pages for easy reference plus internet links to recommended websites with more information.
This was a fascinating, incredible time in history, and this book hardly scratched the surface. There's so much more that could have been covered. The things that were covered was only briefly mentioned. It leaves to much out, even if used just as a spine.
Great Resource!
