unironically this Victorian childrensbook about the middle ages called “The story of the middle ages” from 1906. It realy conveys the sense and essential qualities of the time in a way that even some academic books cant do, and it does it succinctly and effectively. in fact, it also goes over aspects of the german tribes that would go to form the medieval nations, something that is largely overlooked on the topic. and it also deserves kudos for explaining things like the role of the church and the nature of politics in a accurate but breif manner.

i highly recommend it as someones first primer into the time period. it’s excellent. and there is an excellent reading on librivox too.
