DEAR FANTASY WRITERS RESEARCHING THE PAST AND ATTEMPTING TO WRITE BASED OFF IT
If you are looking for daily life, what their homes looked like, the basics of what they ate and lived off of, and other facts that would sell home your knowledge, but are unable to find sources that don’t either go so in depth about something you don’t understand, or are vague, here is the website for you.
Ducksters.com
It’s made explicitly for a younger audience, who are probably researching for school, but it has the basics and isn’t confusing. Quite litterally it’s written to just driver the information in a way that a fifth grader could look at it for a minute, then answer some question sheet.
I just looked up Middle Ages: Daily Life on it and received: where the majority lived (in the country), what they do (most worked as farmers), basic government thing (oftentimes there was a local lord who lived in a manor or a castle), what they grew (barley, wheat, oats) all in the first paragraph.
It’s simple, to the point, and is designed to deliver the basic information one needs.
