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.

In the melee, Sarah tumbles overboard and washes ashore on an island ruled by the wicked Mr. Grim, who sends his pirate son Black Tooth out to steal babies and then raises these hapless tykes to become Woolies, weavers of fine rugs. Chased by Mr. Grim, Sarah stumbles into the enclosure known as Woolie World and meets Freck, a timid five-year-old dressed head to toe in a fuzzy white garment. Sarah quickly discovers the marvels of a world populated by singing, dancing Woolies. But she also sees a darker side. Failed Woolies are turned into "Worms," exiles who live in underground tunnels and scrounge for food. Sarah befriends Mr. Grim`s twitchy but kind-hearted son Nigel and joins forces with Thomas, the 12-year-old Woolie leader. Will they be able to outwit Mr. Grim and rescue Woolies and Worms from servitude? This unique fantasy adventure sparkles with wit and wordplay, harrowing adventure, and heartfelt emotion.

Описание: Political life in the middle ages was heavily influenced by the bonds people had to one another, of which the bonds of kinship, friendship and lordship were especially important. The aim of this book is to document and describe just how much these bonds shaped political life.
When Christianity spread from its Mediterranean base into the Germanic and Celtic north, it initiated profound changes, particularly in kinship relations and sexual mores. Joseph H. Lynch traces the introduction and assimilation of the concept of spiritual kinship into Anglo-Saxon England. Covering the years 597 to 1066, he shows how this notion unsettled and in time altered the structures of the society.
In early Germanic societies, kinship was a major organizing principle. Spiritual kinship of various kinds began to take hold among the Anglo-Saxons with the arrival of Christian missionaries from Rome in the seventh century. Lynch discusses in detail sponsorship at baptism, confirmation, and other rituals in which an individual other than a biological parent presented someone, often an infant, for initiation into Christianity. After the ceremony, the sponsor was regarded as the child's spiritual parent or godparent, whose role complemented that of the natural mother and father, with whom the sponsor had become a "coparent." He describes the difficulties posed by the incest taboo, which included a ban on marriage between spiritual kin. Lynch's work reveals how Anglo-Saxons, though never accepting the sexual taboos that were so prominent in the Frankish, Roman, and Byzantine churches, did create new forms of spiritual kinship. Unusual in its focus and scope, this book illuminates an integral element in the religious, social, and diplomatic life of Anglo-Saxon England. It also contributes to our understanding of the ways in which Christianization reshaped societal relations and moral attitudes.
