Visiting Camelot

Not the real one, but Camelot International — Britain’s Heritage and History. An excellent “beginner’s” site for British history from Roman times to present. Has an “Interactive Medieval Village”:http://www.camelotintl.com/village/street.html where you can click on the people on the street and learn about their lives (great for kids with homework to do!). Also offers info on castles and historic homes, famous Brits, ‘British’ battles, the rulers of Britain, etc. And, of course, the legend of Camelot.

Enjoy! I’m off to write.

December Special — Favorite Research Sites

Posted by Lisa Hendrix on December 1, 2007

I’m on the last downhill slope for Immortal Warrior, so to offer you something new each day but still stay focused, I’m going to keep things simple and just post my favorite research sites. Whether you’re a reader or a writer, I promise you can find something interesting in each and every site. I’ll try to start out with more general sites before I move to the arcane. Today’s site:

Regia Anglorum — Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman and British Living History. Basically, the Brits’ version of the Society for Creative Anachronism, enhanced by the fact that they have access to source materials. A tremendous research site, and full of fun information for those who are just curious.

Happy December,

Lisa

That’s clearly what some folks have. I ran into this a while back when I was doing some research. You’ve got to see it to believe it:
