I have been doing some research online to determine the historical accuracy of the novel Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet. I have read this novel four times in the last few years. It is set against the period known as the Anarchy and incorporates the various battles and persons of the time including Thomas Becket a religious saint and martyr.

All the instances of "Matilda" were changed to "Maude", based on Penman's book, which I reverted. If there's a good reason for doing that I don't object, but I do object to changing it based purely on the usage in a novel, when it was done simply as a matter of narrative convenience.

Does this page really need a section on novels written about this period? It seems a bit trivial.

Why not? It doesn't do any harm, and some may find it interesting. 84.70.129.167 14:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
