A secondary source is a professional discussion about a primary source, or historical commentary that was written by someone who was not present during the period or events that are being discussed. Most non-fiction books are secondary sources. Even medieval historians often wrote about events that occur centuries earlier, eg. Geoffrey of Monmouth
