A. Having viewed more of the HC documentary, how would you use this source if you were researching a specific event within the Middle Ages?
I personally would use this as either a "cause and effect" source, or a contextual source. This documentary gives a good big picture of historical facts, while giving a lot of detail, but not enough for one specific event. When researching a topic, this would make the time a little easier to grasp in my mind,
B. What would you say are the limitations of this source of information about the historical past?
Above all, this must be seen as an interpretation, not a primary source of the exact events. Along with that, we also must remember that the facts of the past have been filtered, and all of the facts have not been included.
