Hello all! I am looking for any good overviews of medieval tutors of either royalty or nobility. England and France (and other Normanish places) are preferable, but any information is useful at this point. I'm particularly interested in the qualifications of tutors, and some politics involved in their appointment. Teaching schedules would also be useful. Thanks!

The fact that you say "Normanish places" makes me think you might secretly be thinking of the Angevin Empire. But the fact that you are asking about "teaching schedules" and "the qualifications of tutors" makes me think that you might not actually know anything about what you are looking for. What gender and age(s) are the kids in question? And, importantly, what subjects are involved? Your likeliest bet, really, is Some Guy who knows Latin and has both minor orders and lovely manners. You don't get celebrity tutors (except Abelard, which becomes, famously, a whole situation.)
