Companion Index
In two volumes, the Dunnett Companion, by Elspeth Morrison, provides quotations, translations, biographies, and historical background, plus maps and genealogies, re-creating at least a portion of Dorothy Dunnett's original research for the Lymond Chronicles and the House of Niccol� series.� (More, from the publisher.)
The index presented here is intended to facilitate easier reference between the novels and the Companion.
An example of how I might use this index: I am reading Part One, Chapter I of The Game of Kings. I look up several English, French and Latin quotations in the Companion, as well as entries for Attila and Torquemada. But when I consult the Index, I realize that I have read past references to Midas and to syphilis without realizing that the Companion has relevant entries. Now I can check these Companion entries as well.
(Of course, this index is probably useful only if you own the Companion.)
N.B.: As I update the index for each book, I am moving it to the Dunnett Wiki. The links below will take you to the updated page, if one has been created.

Acknowledgements
Compiling this index would not have been worth the effort if Elspeth Morrison's Dorothy Dunnett Companion were not such a valuable resource.
In addition, I appreciate the corrections, emendations and other suggestions I have received from members of the various online Dunnett discussion groups, including: Linda Davis, Susan Haseltine and Melissa Rabey.
Errata and Suggestions
I have based the index, in the first instance, on the chapter references contained in the Companions. Over time, I hope to make them both more accurate and more precise. In addition, I am not certain which novels refer to these items below.  Please contact me ([email protected]) with corrections and suggestions.
