[Northkeep] Request for Byzantine Info

Would anyone out there have books or knowledge about the Byzantine empire,
particularly during the 12th Century (second crusade)?

I am writing about that period, and have some questions.  Particularly, how
were the Byzantines attitudes towards physicians?  Would physicians ever
marry into nobility?  Or perhaps the nobility practice medicine (other than
household remedies)?  Do you know about hospitals and their practices?

If you don't have the info yourself, but know of some who are engaged in
that era and/or culture, would you please forward this email to them?

I would be most grateful for any help.

Sincerely,

Franziska von Locknitz
