We have over the last couple of days discussed the database for the
The Soldier in Later Medieval England project, at <http://
www.icmacentre.ac.uk/soldier/database/index.php>, on this list, in
threads with the subject lines "check this out", "here is the web
site", "100 Years War soldier list", and "Agincourt war records".
Questions were raised as to whether some or all of the surnames in
the database might have been normalized, due to an ambiguous
statement on the website. So I used the "for more information
contact" link at the bottom of the index page to ask for
clarification. Dr. Adrian Bell, Senior Lecturer in the History of
Finance and Director of Teaching and Learning at the ICMA Centre,
answered my inquiry, confirming that while the given names have been
normalized, the surnames are unaltered.
