Which definition of 'Medieval' are people using here?
- when I was a kid it was 1066-1485, with Dark Ages before and Tudors after, bracketed by some nice easy battles
- more recently it seems anything after AD 410 has become 'Early Medieval' and the Tudor bit now seems to be part of the middle ages but without any specified end date (are medievalists taking over?)
- I'm currently looking at a Med pot report that has:- Anglo-Scandinavian (late 9th to mid 11th), Saxo-Norman (11th to early/mid 13th), Early Medieval (mid 12th to mid 13th), Medieval (13th to 15th) and post-Medieval (16th-18th)
What the h**ls going on? !
Oh, as one of my colleagues has pointed out, ignore the capital M's, since medieval doesn't have one except at the start of a sentence.......:face-approve:
