Mitchell Heisman's suicide note talks extensively about the effects of the Norman Conquest.

~160IQ posters on the board, are you sure he hasn't faked his death?

Asbridge uses BCE and CE instead of BC and AD, and is clearly biased against the Crusaders. Though good overall.

He was a schizophrenic, man. I mean, he might not literally have been a clinically diagnosable schizophrenic, but he was crazy. Whether he was crazy already or went crazy from his “studies”, it’s pretty obvious that his theories and probably his suicide, almost certainly his suicide actually, were probably at least in part the result of his insanity. He was not a genius, just a sad victim of insanity.

Just read the Divine comedy. It is in fact one of the best pieces of /lit/ to ever come out.
