Much of what is known of the Norse myths comes from the 10th century onwards. Until this time and for centuries afterwards, Norse culture (particularly that of Iceland, where the myths were eventually transcribed) was an oral culture. In fact, in all Scandinavian countries well into the 13th century laws were memorized by officials known as “Lawspeakers” who recited them at the “Thing.” The Thing was the legislative assembly in Scandinavia “held for judicial purposes".

Как долго продолжалось татаро-монгольское иго? Кто был автором "Слова о полку Игореве"? Кто назвал князя Александра Невским, а князя Ярослава Мудрым? На эти и многие другие вопросы отвечает доктор исторических наук, главный на-учный сотрудник Института российской истории РАН Антон Горский. В книге "Русское Средневековье" автор восстанавливает историческую справед-ливость и развенчивает некоторые мифы так называемой альтернативной истории. Взгляды А. Горского в ряде случаев отличаются от официально признанных, поэтому погружение в средневековую Русь становится еще более интересным.

Nowhere else in Britain in the modern era, or indeed in Europe, did civil order break down over such a wide area, or for such a long time, as on the border country between Scotland and England. For more than a century, the hoofbeats of countless raiding parties drummed over the border. From Dumfriesshire to the high wastes of East Cumbria, from Roxburghshire to Redesdale, from the lonely valley of Liddesdale to the fortress city of Carlisle, swords and spears spoke while the law remained silent

Самая интересная аудиокнига про Средние века от автора бестселлера «Чумазое Средневековье». Мы читали о них в рыцарских романах и сатирических новеллах Боккаччо, видели в фильмах, разглядывали на картинах. Но единого мнения как не было, так и нет. Это и понятно – что может быть общего у благородных прекрасных принцесс, ради которых рыцари совершают подвиги, и грязных крестьянок, безропотно умирающих где-то там, на заднем плане сериала или романа?

Викинги очень непросты — они не только грабители и пираты, но еще и талантливые бизнесмены и кораблестроители, прекрасные ремесленники и ювелиры, писатели, сказители и художники, путешественники и просто авантюристы до мозга костей. В одной книге рассказать о них невозможно — невольно что-то останется за бортом.

Templars in America reveals the story of two leading European Templar families who combined forces to create a new commonwealth in America nearly a century before the voyages of Christopher Columbus. Henry St. Clair of the Orkney Islands, then part of Normandy, and Carlo Zeno, a Venetian trader, made peaceful and mutually beneficial contact with the Mi'kmaq people of what is now Canada. Proof of their travels is carved in stone on both sides of the Atlantic and can be found in documentary evidence borne out by a strong oral tradition that has withstood the test of time.

Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II.

Le Crociate: e cioè l'avventura di quei cristiani che hanno accettato l'appello del papa, sentendone il fascino, e si sono messi in gioco, facendo cose che oggi ci sembrano assai discutibili e che invece a loro sembravano sacrosante. Il fatto è che i musulmani non sono rimasti inerti quando un'orda di barbari sanguinari venuti da chissà dove, per di più miscredenti, è entrata in terra islamica seminando distruzione."

For nearly a thousand years following its foundation, there was only one Christian Church. Centered in the city of Rome, the Church expanded and grew until it became the dominant religion in Europe and beyond. The early growth of the Church had been suppressed by the Romans until the Emperor Constantine became the first to convert the empire to Christianity, and from that point forward, the growth of the Church was inextricably linked with the Roman Empire, the most powerful military, economic, and political force in the ancient world.

An order of warrior monks founded to protect pilgrims to Jerusalem, the Templars were among the wealthiest and most powerful bodies in the medieval world. Yet two centuries later, they were arrested, accused of blasphemy, heresy and orgies, and their leaders were burnt at the stake. Part guide, part history, this book investigates the Templar legends and legacy - from the mysteries of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, via nineteenth century development of the Freemasons, through to Templar appearances in Dan Brown and Indiana Jones.
