Welcome to A Medieval Tapestry, themes in Medieval History Here you will find essays on a range of topics from the Middle Ages, each a thread in the colourful tapestry of Medieval civilisation. The Middle Ages have always fascinated me, valiant knights and noble monarchs, courtly love and chivalry. And yet there is so much more to Medieval history than simply kings and castles, a fact I endeavor to highlight with this site. I hope you find something of interest in the following collection (which I will continue to add to) and if you have any comments or questions please feel free to email me or leave a message in the guestbook.Why did a Christian army, with pious intentions to liberate the Holy Land sack Constantinople in 1204? Who was Prester John? Read what Marco Polo and Sir John Mandeville made of this legendary medieval figure. King Arthur and the English Monarchy King Arthur was a potent figure in the Middle Ages. See how successive English monarch utilised the figure of Arthur for their gain.
