Placenames in Normandy and surrounding provinces are identified by département, and by canton and commune if necessary (omitting the arrondissement except for chefs-lieux of cantons); those in other parts of France are named by department only. British placenames are identified by pre-1974 county except for county towns. Religious houses are identified by medieval diocese unless they are in a cathedral city.
For ease of reference to particular families, personal names are given by surname or nickname first, except for members of royal and princely dynasties, and some authors. Members of a lineage with the same name are generally shown in alphabetical, not chronological order.
In Appendix I, only the most significant names from the genealogical tables themselves are indexed since substantive points are discussed in the text.
