Medieval History
Sorry it's been quiet from me lately. Trying to finish the book this Summer. Anyway, if you're interested, I'd thought I'd share. Please check out my abstract (slightly, but not totally out-of-date) and these google maps I've put together. (Personally, I've found google maps incredibly helpful in letting me get a visual sense of the geography I'm talking about.) All the data in these maps relates to the period 814 - ca. 1100.
