Welcome to TimeRef Medieval Timeline Reference
On this site you'll find detailed timelines,
details of key medieval episodes, biographies of medieval people,
photographs of medieval places,
maps and
3D CGI reconstructions of ruined castles and abbeys.
What makes this site different, is that each related event, person and place is
linked to produce a web of information. This site is generally about British
Medieval History because I live in Birmingham, England but the site is
constantly being updated and I hope to cover other areas.
Timelines
The timelines provide lists of events covering the medieval period from 800AD to
1499AD. Although the timelines only show a brief one-line description of each event,
you can click the events to get more detailed information. Timelines are also arranged
by category such as military events, or architectural events.
Episodes
What I call 'Episodes' are sections of History that consist of a series of
linked events and people. You will find that many history books devote chapters
in a similar way. Each Episode consists of an overview, a list of events and a list
of the people involved.
People
Here you will find an A to Z list of some of the important Medieval people,
detailed information about the Kings of England, and information on the
Rulers of Scotland.
Each person has their own expandable timeline, family tree and links to related
people and places.
Maps and Places
The maps show the location of over 500 Medieval places in England, Scotland
and Wales. Each point on the maps links to either detailed information on
this site, or to MultiMap.com to show its exact location. Also available here
is an A to Z list of places with photographs, timelines and information about
each place. You can search for medieval places near
where you live, near other medieval places or via OS Coordinates.

About me
My job is programming computers but my hobby is medieval history. This website grew up
as I learnt more about the people, places and events that took place in the medieval period.
The website is far from complete so please visit again in the future to see more details
and functionality.
I apologise for any mistakes that I have made on the pages of this site and am happy to
receive notifications of errors that you may find. I am also happy to accept any donations of
information. Many thanks to Peter Potter and Dorothy Davies for their donations.
