Viking Library
Websites on middle age history?
Having been a writer for about 10 years now, one of my favorite genres is historical fiction. Anyway one project I'm working on is a story that takes place in the 80s and I was easily able to find info on the 1980s on Wikipedia. But one problem I currently have is I have one story that takes place in the middle ages and another that's set in the Viking age. I recently checked out a book at my local library on Viking history but the info is somewhat on a basic 'textbook' level.
I tired looking for sites on google but nothing major came up.
Can anyone recommend some good websites with info on the middle ages and Viking times?
It's part of my writing research.
Thanks!

Fun with Dick and Jane $2.99 Remakes are always a gamble, so it's a pleasant surprise that Fun with Dick and Jane pays off with unexpected dividends. It's as entertaining as the 1977 original starring George Segal and Jane Fonda, and the teaming of Jim Carrey and Téa Leoni makes this a safe bet for comedy fans, in spite of a slapstick screenplay that fails to achieve its fullest potential. Rather than attempt a darkly comedi... |
