Books I would love to read

by Zmajcina

So I have come across a post here about books from history written by great leaders and warriors. And I got interested a lot in reading those books. Can anyone suggest any book from medieval era that is easy to find and buy online, and if so are they written in old English, or are they translated so that we modern people can understand.

P.S. I am not an English native speaker so pls don't mind my English

Gerald of Wales has two very easy to find and buy books, the Conquest of Ireland and the Topography of Wales - although he might not fit neatly within your category; he was a priest whose family was involved in the (first) Norman invasion of Ireland, and he wrote his books to try and win more influence in the court of Henry II.

The books themselves are not only interesting "histories" and explorations of Ireland and Wales, but are also good examples of Medieval wonderbooks - they contain a lot of weirdness and discussion around miracles and stuff like werewolves, or half-man half-cows living in Ireland, amongst other things
