CLEARER?!??!?!?!?!
I recommend the newsgroup soc.history.medieval. If they can't answer your question, then they'll be able to point you to books you can read in order to reach your own conclusion. A caveat is that they don't suffer fools, so they'll expect your questions to be highly focused and backed up by at least basic knowledge, and that you'll be able to understand the answers they give. Still, from my experience, if you fulfill these basic criteria, they're friendly enough, and immensely helpful.
