I have realized how ignorant I am about medieval history and would like to expand my knowledge. But I don't know where to start. I don't know if you could recommend a book, youtube channel or documentary to help me expand my knowledge of history.

>>16536796Video games won't teach you about history. They are more of a source of erroneous misconceptions about historical characters' actions, intentions, ways of behaving, and ways of speaking than anything.

>>16536810Very true, but they did start me down the path of learning actual history. I know that’s kind of gay, but I’ll admit it (I actually read history in my spare time now I promise).

>>16536796For me it was anime that got me interested in the Celts.
The Age of the Vikings by Anders Winroth is a good book

>>16538361I always imagine the vikings more like a bunch of half naked blond twinks shaking up a saxon priest saying: "just give us your gold, old man!"
>>16536764You should try reading Georges Duby, he has some interesting writing and approaches medieval history from a multidisciplinary perspective
>>16539170I know I'd surrender my abbey's possessions immediately if I saw that
Are there any periods or locations you're interested in? General 'history of the world' type books don't go into very much depth and usually aren't worth reading unless you're very young.

>>16536764Oh to actually answer your question. Do whatever you will actually read/listen to so long as it is accurate. I would highly recommend learning about antiquity in more depth first, but it’s because there’s less to study in terms of primary sources so the Romans/Greeks can be a really solid introduction to reading primary sources for a first-timer. I would say to simply pick a state/kingdom/nation/faith and just grab a general secondary source on it or primary sources and keep reading about it if you enjoy it. Bibliographies and footnotes can be a great way to find more texts to read. Forewards and Prefaces and the like are also something that actually matters in history. The author or translator will often explain a lot that might go over your head if you just read the source directly.
