Important Historical Figures & Organisations

This is the section for articles about Important Historical Figures and Organisations in the Medieval Era.


Here you can read about the important figures of the Medieval era and perhaps be inspired to submit an article yourself. It will also cover organisations so articles about the likes of the Templars or Teutonic Knights will end up here.
