Here are some of my favourite books on the Middle Ages. Some of these are great introductory books to the period and perfect for beginners.

I compiled this list for #historathon2023, an event in which readers are encouraged to read one history book each quarter of the year using the timeline below:

Jan to Mar - Prehistory to AD 500
Apr to Jun - 500 to 1500
Jul to Sept - 1500 to 1820
Oct to Dec - 1820 to Present

My fantastic cohosts are as follows:
