Hey everyone.
Long story short...I'm doing a History research project, as part of an extended project qualification and what is required is at least 5,000 words, and I am not quite sure what to base it on. Although, my initial choice isare either researching the relationship between Mehmed II and Constantine orthe relationship between Salahadin and Richard the Lionheart during the Third Crusade...seeing as I have to decide this within two days [Wednesday] I have chosen to go with that one as I am most interested in them and their profound stories.
Alas the reason I am here is to request a little bit of help, if anyone is willing. What I am really in need of is;
- Some good websites and sources which have a lot of information on this particular topic
- Any books which may be of use on those two particular subjects
- Any information anyone here is willing to share on the mentioned area
I have chosen Saladin and Lionheart as a lot more information is available on them and much more books. I would be eternally grateful for any help, and any support... thanks in advance.
Note [this doesn't have to be original research, but just research, 5,000 word essay, well presented - have question then finding the answer type thing-.]
