The Greenleaf Guide to Famous Men of the Middle Ages

by Robert G. Shearer, Cynthia A. Shearer

A Companion to Famous Men of the Middle Ages (also published by Greenleaf).
The thirty-four lessons in this guide are a gentle introduction to the history of the Middle Ages, using what Charlotte Mason called a "living book." This guide will show you how to use the biographies in Famous Men of the Middle Ages with students in a wide range of grade levels. Key figures from church history (Augustine, Patrick, Francis) as well as kings, knights, and travellers are covered with lots of suggestions for supplemental books and activities.
Make sure you get the Greenleaf version of Famous Men of the Middle Ages. Its the only one that includes the five new chapters (on Augustine, Patrick, Francis, Dominic, etc) written by Rob Shearer and added to the original 1904 edition.

[Judith · Rating 1 out of 5]

Did not finish. While lack of detail is u serstandavle as book is geared toward children, descriptions of people very unbalanced. European Christians portrayed as good and heroic with everyone else portrayed as bad or villains. Too much religion, too little facts, politics, actions, and reactions that make up actual history.
