Discuss the following:

Select one primary source from Western Europe in the Middle Ages (500-1350) that has not been assigned from class from the Fordham Sourcebook found Use this document to explore an episode in Medieval history in more depth.  Offer a clear reading of the one source and explore how the document illustrates and illuminates the historical episode.  What is the significance of the document in the larger historical context? 

Note: document are organized by category, so select a category from the list on the left to access documents.  You have a great deal of freedom here to choose a document that interests you.

Make sure that your argument is historically substantiated and well-constructed around a central thesis statement that explores a significant aspect of the history of the Middle Ages that we touched on in class.  Use both primary and secondary sources in your analysis.  Do more than summarize your primary source.  This question is designed to have you look closely at the at the complexities of the Middle Ages.  Please remember not to use first person in a historical argument.  Your paper should have a clear introductory paragraph with a well-developed thesis, body paragraphs of supporting historical evidence to support that thesis, and conclusions which bring in critical analysis.
