Medieval Fiefdom http://library.thinkquest.org/10949/ • Easy to navigate. • Decent amount of information on certain topics, but not a wide variety of topics to choose from. • Need a plug-in to be able to view some information. • No bibliography. • Designed by high school students, so sources of information could be unreliable.

Castles on the Web http://www.castlesontheweb.com/ • Fair amount of good information, but also a lot of useless information as well. • Mainly about presentation and visuals, not as much about facts. • In-site search engine not very helpful. • Hard to navigate / find what you are looking for. • Even the visuals that are the focus of the site are not always very good.
