It gave me a propective on the lifestyle. as well as the outside influences (church, king, etc.). So many times when gaining the basic information on my ancestors, that prospective escapes me in researching my family. It helps to have an understanding of their life then and how it influenced those following.

Well stated RedFox.
Trying to understand their lives is one of the main reasons I enjoy researching my family history. The outside influences on their lives must have been tremendous. Imagine naming your children after significant events in your life.
