The Varangians wore mixtures of their native clothing and armour together with a splendid formal Byzantine uniform. This title offers an insightful look at this legendary guard units of the medieval world.
The medieval northern world consisted of a vast and culturally diverse region, both geographically, from roughly Greenland to Novgorod and culturally, as one of the last areas of Europe to be converted to Christianity. Old Norse Folklore explores the complexities of this fascinating world in a series of case studies and theoretical essays to connect orality and performance theory to memory studies and from myths relating to pre-Christian Nordic religion to innovations within late medieval pilgrimage song culture.
Old Norse Folklore provides critical new perspectives on the Old Norse world, some of which appear in this volume for the first time in English. Stephen A. Mitchell presents emerging methodologies by analyzing Old Norse materials to offer new and better understandings of this kind of evidence. He examines, interprets, and re-interprets the medieval data bequeathed to us by posterity—myths, legends, riddles, charms, court culture, conversion narratives, landscapes, and mindscapes—targeting largely overlooked, yet important sources of cultural insights.

Описание: In 500, the legal order in Europe was structured around ancient customs, social practices and feudal values. By 1500, the effects of demographic change, new methods of farming and economic expansion had transformed the social and political landscape and had wrought radical change upon legal practices and systems throughout Western Europe. A Cultural History of Law in the Middle Ages explores this change and the rich and varied encounters between Christianity and Roman legal thought which shaped the period.
Evolving from a combination of religious norms, local customs, secular legislations, and Roman jurisprudence, medieval law came to define an order that promoted new forms of individual and social representation, fostered the political renewal that heralded the transition from feudalism to the Early Modern state and contributed to the diffusion of a common legal language. Drawing upon a wealth of textual and visual sources, A Cultural History of Law in the Middle Ages presents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of justice, constitution, codes, agreements, arguments, property and possession, wrongs, and the legal profession.

Описание: Following on from Crusader Castles of the Teutonic Knights (1) which looked at the red-brick castles of Prussia, this second volume focuses on the stone castles of the Baltic states that are now Latvia and Estonia. In the 12th century a military order, the Brethren of the Sword, was founded to provide protection for Christian priests and missionaries who were spreading Christianity among the Baltic states. However, their actions soon went beyond this with attacks on the indigenous population and campaigns against encroaching neighbours such as Lithuania and Russia. This book details the origins, development and history of this order which later became incorporated into the Teutonic Knights. In particular Stephen Turnbull looks at the development of fortifications established to consolidate their conquests, their defensive features, how they operated and how they adapted to changes in the way warfare was carried out, such as the increased importance of gunpowder. Full of photos, illustrations, plans and reconstruction drawings by Peter Dennis.
