by Richard K. Emmerson (Editor), Sandra Clayton-Emmerson (Associate Editor)

Contains nearly 600 biographical entries of men and women from all walks of life during the Middle Ages. Includes thematic outline that lists people by region and area of activity. Includes entries from Islamic world.

From emperors and queens to artists and world travellers, from popes and scholars to saints and heretics, Who's Who in the Middle Ages brings together the most important people who lived in medieval Europe between 500 and 1500. Gathered from the biographical entries from the on-going series, the Routledge Encyclopedias of the Middle Ages, these A-Z biographical entries discuss the lives of nearly 600 individuals who have had a historical impact in such areas as politics, religion, or the arts. Individuals from places such as medieval England, France, Germany, Iberia, Italy, and Scandinavia are included as well as those from the Jewish and Islamic worlds. A thematic outline is included that lists people not only by categories, but also by regions.
