Interesting Individuals from the Middle Ages

By , About.com Guide

The "Who's Who in Medieval History" project is intended to help you find information about significant individuals from the Middle Ages and Renaissance, when available, on the web and in print. Each page will offer a brief explanation of who the individual was and why he or she is important or interesting in medieval and Renaissance studies. For more information, be sure to investigate the websites or books provided.

Browse one of these directories for the individual you seek:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Chronological Index

Geographical Index

Index by Profession, Achievement, or Role in Society


This resource is still growing! If you are seeking information about an individual not yet represented in Who's Who in Medieval History, please consult an encyclopedia for basic details. If you are looking for more in-depth data than is available on the web or are interested in an obscure individual, I hope you will consider posting to our board or to a mailing list.
