I'm a historian specializing in medieval France, but also interested in Teispid dynasty.

My favorite king is Philip the Fair, who's a very controversial figure. Many people don't even know much about him, and yet, they don't hesitate to call him a bad ruler. This is why I decided to make an account here, because there are a lot of pages that are badly written and based on unreliable sources. These pages are spreading false information about certain people from history. Information, that has long been debunked! I hope to correct, at least a few of these pages, so that the people who got enough sh@t in their lives do not have to suffer being called bad unjustly.

If you're interested in some good historical literature, here's a couple of nice reads:

 * Strayer, Joseph. 2019. The Reign of Philip the Fair. Princeton: Princeton University Press.
 * Duby, Georges. 1990. The Legend of Bouvines: War, Religion, and Culture in the Middle Ages. University of California Press.
