[Moo] Norman History

[Denise McMahon]

If you have an iTunes account, or even if you don't, you can subscribe  
to an audio podcast called Norman Centuries- a Norman History Podcast  
by Lars Brownworth.

The small blurb underneath the lovely picture of a part of the Bayeaux  
Tapestry says:

Lars Brownworth, author of "Lost to the West" and creator of "12  
Byzantine Rulers" presents "Norman Centuries", a podcast on the  
Normans.  While popular Norman history focuses on the regions of  
France and England, Norman Centuries covers the lesser known Italian  
Normans as well. Visit us at http://www.NormanCenturies.com/

I have no idea what his reputation is as a scholar, but I figure for  
free, it's worth a listen.

There's also Historyzine by Jim Mowattwhich is free,as well as  
Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean by Philip A. Harland, All  
Things Medieval by Sir Justus Webbe, Podcasts on Medieval Texts by  
Matthew Gabriele (there's one on Ibn Battuta!), Medieval Islamic  
Medicine etc. Go to the Podcasts section for Higher Education and do a  
search for medieval and stand back. :)

Enjoy!

Now, there are many, many people in the world, but relatively few with  
whom we interact, and even fewer who cause us problems. So, when you  
come across such a chance for practicing patience and tolerance, you  
should treat it with gratitude. It is rare. Just as having  
unexpectedly found a treasure in your own house, you should be happy  
and grateful to your enemy for providing that precious opportunity.

-His Holiness the Dalai Lama
