Welcome to Peter’s History Corner! “What is Peter’s History Corner?” I hear you ask. Well this will be the posts where I talk about history, and the bits of history that interest me. You may have seen I’ve already done a bit of this with my posts on some of the Popes in the Middles Ages. Well this will be formalised into (hopefully) regular posts.
What areas of history will I be discussing? Well various areas that interest me! I have wide ranging interests, mainly focused on political, religious and military history. Below is a list of topics that will be covered, and I have already started researching some of these areas.
- The Norman Conquest
- The Angevin Empire
- The Holy Wars, from the First Crusade to Third Crusade
- Warfare and Strategy of England and Western Europe from 1066 to 1485
- Rise and fall of the Knights Templar
- Politics and Warfare of the Papal States and Wider City States in Italian Renaissance
- Early Ottoman Empire, from the taking of Constantinople to death of Suleiman the Magnificent
- British Cavalry from the Napoloeonic Wars to end of the First World War

I hope you enjoy these topics. The biographies of the Popes will still go ahead, but might take a back seat to some of the topics mentioned above.
