Opis

Portraits of Medieval Eastern Europe provides imagined biographies of twenty figures from all walks of life living in Eastern Europe from 800 to 1250. The book utilises the existing source base, as well as comparative material from other places and times to create the biographies. The figures portrayed are from a range of backgrounds from key players such as Bolesław I, king of Poland, Anna Komnene a Byzantine princess and historian, and Subodei, the Mongol general, to everyday figures such as a Viking explorer in Rus', a woman from Novgorod, a Jewish traveler, and a Rus' pilgrim. This book provides the perfect teaching aid to support and excite students about medieval Eastern Europe.
