People

Biographies and resources on famous and infamous individuals.

Countries

The history of the lands and peoples of Europe, as defined by the modern nation states (e.g. history of Britain, France, Russia).

Peoples of Europe

Resources on the peoples – some might say 'races' - of Europe, including those lost to the past (e.g. Celts, Normans) and those frequently in the news (e.g. Basques).

Lists of Monarchs / Rulers

Chronological lists of the people who have ruled each country, empire or religion, with the dates of said responsibility

Locations

We often think of history as just being about people, but places can have histories just as complicated and fascinating.
