Polity Consolidation and Military Transformation in Medieval Scandinavia: A European Perspective, c.1035–1320: The Northern World, cartea 94

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mar 2023
In this book, Beñat Elortza Larrea analyses the processes of polity consolidation and military transformation in Scandinavia between the early eleventh and early fourteenth centuries. Based on a plethora of administrative, legal, and narrative sources, this study examines the development of governance and warfare in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and evaluates to which degree European ideas and institutions shaped the budding medieval Scandinavian realms.
