Thank You !!
This good base of info and, yes !
Searching old literture gives an ethos as well as info.
I once did much research on the Juilo Claudian family of the early Roman Emperors .
I always honor the source material from the era .
In the case of first century Rome it was Cassius Dio , Tacitus ,Seutonius ,Philo Alexandrini , Malalas,Frontinus ,Pliny the elder,Seneca ,and Dio Chyrisostom .
If you could honor me with a few authors names or just sorce titles from
1200 to 1400 or even 1500 that would be great .Just two or three names or titles would be fine .
Thanks again for the careful answers to my questions .

Cheers
Bruce

I'm afraid I can't offer much help with primary source material, I'm usually quite happy with secondary sources.

Such as:
H.E. Mayer's "The Crusades"; S. Runciman's "A History of the Crusades" and David Edge and John Miles Paddock's "Arms & Armor of the Medieval Knight"(This one is pricey though, you might want to try abebooks.com for it).

Understood ..
The secondary sources will be finefor now as they will cite original sources .
Thanks again
