"The famous men of ancient and modern times are the 
mountain peaks of history. It is logical then that the study of history should begin with the biographies of these men."

Notable characters featured in Famous Men of the Middle 
Ages include Attila the Hun Charlemagne William the 
Conqueror Frederick Barbarossa Marco Polo and William 
Tell. Somewhat surprisingly Famous Men of the Middle 
Ages also includes a chapter about one woman: Joan of Arc.
