INDEX
Note: Certain terms that recur throughout the text, such as Sicily, Italy or
Catalonia, have not been included. Pre-1450 names are given with the
first name first, post-1450 names with the surname first. Popes are further
identified by giving their original name in brackets. Catalan spelling has
been adopted for place-names in Catalonia and Valencia, in accordance
with current usage (Lleida, not Lbida); however, for the Balearic islands
English, and for Catalan territories in France French, usage has been
followed. English name forms ('Peter', John') are generally confined to
rulers only.
