“Medieval Britain A Very Short Introduction” by John Gillingham (Oxford University Press, 2002)

Another welcoming addition in the “A Very Short Introduction” series, Medieval Britain goes right along with The Anglo-Saxon Age and Roman Britain forming a trilogy of the entire expanse of the medieval period in Britain.  Written with poignant details and facts, along with occasional pictures, and ending with a complete time chart, further reading, bibliography, family trees, and an extended index; this little book serves as a handy reference tool for any would-be medieval historian writing a paper on the period.
