This book explores the early alliance formed in 1493 between King Hans of Denmark and Grand Prince Ivan III of Moscow, marking one of the first treaties between a Catholic European and an Orthodox Muscovite ruler. It reveals a unique diplomatic relationship that lasted over thirty years, involving multiple treaties and numerous missions.

An in-depth examination of the pioneering Danish-Muscovite alliance and its diplomatic history.

The author lays the groundwork for a thorough study of this distinctive late-medieval partnership, which crossed significant religious divides. The book begins by examining the unusual customs and diplomatic practices involved in dealing with medieval Russia.

It then provides a detailed account of the negotiations that led to each of the three treaties between Denmark and Muscovy. Alongside this, the surviving treaty texts from both sides are presented in a new critical edition, complete with commentary and English translations.

To complete the picture, the author also reconstructs the missing original treaties, offering a full collection of the documents that formed the basis of this historic alliance.
