Hello, I am Matthieu. I am a native resident of South-western France. I have got several different points of interests, first an most obvious is medieval history. This is not Myspace so I won't say a lot about me, if you want to know me you can find there, just look for matthieunog.

My work on wikipedia.

Articles I participated in or enlarged.

  • History of France (a good part of it, still to improve)
  • France (added a source on the origin of the name, added the litterature and poetry section, the transportation section and some info in the military one).
