    Default Re: medieval social interaction

    The Middle Ages is usually considered to be about 1000-1500AD, although a lot of historical texts will probably start at significant dates like 1066 (Battle of Hastings) or 1071 (Battle of Manzikert, or even, in the case of MTW, 1087 (death of William the Conqueror)...! A lot of the major medieval history texts were written by British scholars, hence the apparent 'Anglophile' nature of the timespan...
    End dates like 1453 (fall of Constantinople) or 1485 (Battle of Bosworth) or even 1492 (Columbus' voyage) tend to be used as well.

    Do you want to know about stuff like Salic Law (Germanic laws of kingship) and feudal laws, or more about actual social laws governing marriage and everyday business? The more specific you are, the more the nice people at the Org can help you.

    EDIT
    Being a JM, Julian cannot post here yet, but he has PM'd me to specify more of what he'd like to know about...
    "prefer mainly social laws mainly things that involve the class interaction of nobles, merchants, peasants"

    any social historians in the house?
