Hello,
Through my studies, it would appear that I may also attain a minor in medieval or classics history. At this time in my medieval course I am doing a project on medieval thrones.
However, I am having tremendous difficulty finding anything about any of them!
I have tried for the life of me to search out Socttish or English thrones. I have spoken with my teacher who has given me very vague advice, (ie. "Have you gone to the library..? Oh.. hm.") and searched through a plethora of sources.
For those of you who are interested in medieval studies, or for those of you who want to laugh at the bases I have searched here they are:
The Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies (the ORB) - http://www.the-orb.net/
Internet Medieval Sourcebook - http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbook.html
Fordham University - http://www.fordham.edu/index.asp
Netserf, internet connection for medieval sources - http://www.netserf.org/
Google, Yahoo, Alatvista, Hottopic, dictionary.com, etc.
Anyone have any advice..? The best line I have been chasing is "sedes" which is Latin for seat or chair and was commonly used for a bishop's throne or office (the "See" of Rome, for example, comes from "sedes Romana"). "Cathedra" is another Latin term, again used for a bishop's chair. The bishop's church is therefore a "cathedral" church.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (And no, wikipedia is evil in this university.. very very evil)
