Beskrivelse
The Northern Crusades, driven by the Pope's call for a Holy War, brought Christianity to vast new lands like Finland, Estonia, and Prussia. Though less famous than the Middle Eastern Crusades, they achieved remarkable success.
An authoritative and updated exploration of the Northern Crusades and their lasting impact.
This comprehensive book offers a balanced and engaging account of the Northern Crusades, a series of campaigns inspired by the Pope’s call to spread Christianity. Unlike the better-known Crusades in the Middle East, these northern campaigns were notably successful, transforming large regions such as Finland, Estonia, and Prussia into Christian territories that remain so today.
Newly revised to reflect the latest research in Baltic and Northern medieval history, this volume provides a clear and compelling overview of a turbulent period that shaped the religious and cultural landscape of Northern Europe.
