This section was put together by Pierre Monnet, Philippe Depreux, Olivier Richard, Thomas Lienhard and Mathieu Olivier as part of their work at the Mission Historique Française en Allemagne, and the Institut Franco-Allemand de Sciences Historiques et Sociales replacing the Institut Français d’Histoire en Allemagne since 1 September 2015 .
Since it is difficult to define ‘Germany’ in the medieval period, we have chosen to include all sites which are useful in exploring this geographical area, whatever their national affiliation. So you should not be surprised to find Austrian, Belgian, Dutch, Swiss or websites of other nationalities in this section, since they are useful to the historian interested in medieval Germany.
