Download or read book The Crisis of Medieval Russia 1200 1304 written by John Fennell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Fennell's history of thirteenth-century Russia is the only detailed study in English of the period, and is based on close investigation of the primary sources. His account concentrates on the turbulent politics of northern Russia, which was ultimately to become the tsardom of Muscovy, but he also gives detailed attention to the vast southern empire of Kiev before its eclipse under the Tatars. The resulting study is a major addition to medieval historiography: an essential acquisition for students of Russia itself, and a book which decisively fills a vast blank on the map of the European Middle Ages for medievalists generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of what we know about the colourful Russian middle ages comes from legal sources: the treaties of Russian-Scandinavian warlords with the Byzantine emperors, the gradual penetration of Christianity and Byzantine institutions, the endless game of war and peace among the numerous regional princes, the activities of Hanseatic merchants in the wealthy city-republic of Novgorod, the curious relationships between the Mongol conquerors and Russian rulers and church dignitaries, etc. And, at the even further fringes of medieval Europe, there were the Christian kingdoms of Armenia and Georgia, squeezed between the Islamic empires of Iran and Turkey, but each possessing their elaborate and original legal systems. A discussion of more general questions of legal history and legal anthropology precedes the treatment of these various topics.

This book was released on 2018-04-29 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading The formation of the state is a natural stage in the development of society. This is a very lengthy process, so any event that marks the transition to the state forms of life is very conditional. Primitive society could exist, guided by two basic principles that regulated social life: custom (tradition) and the right of the strong. Centuries-old traditions were rarely challenged, so there was no need for some special mechanisms to ensure their compliance. However, as primitive society gradually changed, the relations between the congeners became more and more diverse. The interests of an individual family did not always coincide with common interests, which destroyed the clan from the inside. There was thus a need to create new, more complex rules (like norms and laws) and to achieve their implementation. In the 8th and 9th centuries, among Eastern Slavs, the ancestral way of life was thoroughly destroyed, leading to the birth of the state. Neighboring communities could no longer be managed on the basis of old tribal customs. All this required the creation of new rules and norms. In the 9th century, the gradual strengthening of the Kniaz's power continued. This process was accelerated under the influence of external factors: in the north of the East European Plain the raids of the Varangians became a constant phenomenon, and in the south the hostility of the Slavic and Turkic tribes increased dramatically. Between 862 and 882, the majority of East Slavic tribes were united by Kiev. Thus under the rule of Kiev the Old Russian state (Kievan Rus') was established. It was an early feudal state, since it preserved the vestiges of the tribal system: the elements of military democracy. At the head of the state was the Grand Prince of Kiev, under which there was a council of the most distinguished and powerful princes. The princely vigilantes were in charge of collecting tribute, taxes, carrying out the court, etc. Special representatives of the prince (posadnik) were appointed in the cities. There had been a gradual strengthening of the power of the Kiev princes over the tribal communities of the Slavs. The Kiev princes Oleg and Vladimir united the Slavic and non-Slavic lands both by force and through various agreements. However, princely power was limited by the elements of the people's self-government (the People's Assembly, Veche, operated between the 9th and 11th centuries). In the 19th century, historians no longer interpreted the processes of the creation of the Russian state in such an immediate way. They did not reduce it to the assertion of an autocratic power capable of overcoming both the centrifugal forces within the country and the Mongol domination. The process of creating a centralized state in Eastern Russia was viewed as a definite result of the ethnic development of the people. The development of state institutions of power was associated with the processes that took place in Moscow. The content of the process itself was reduced to the struggle of various socio-political forms, and the layers of the population that stood behind them. This scheme was embodied in the work of S.M. Solovyov, who gave it a historical reasoning, revealing the inner forces of development of Russian statehood. Klyuchevsky and his followers supplemented this scheme with the study of socio-economic processes. Medieval Russia: The History and Legacy of the Groups that Developed the Russian State in the Middle Ages examines the turbulent history of the civilizations that migrated into Russia and developed cities and settlements across the vast landscape. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Russia in the Middle Ages like never before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History is full of surprises, but rarely has there been a turnaround as unexpected, and momentous as what occurred to a formative Russia during the medieval period. Attacked and invaded from all sides, it hardly looked as if the small Slavic principalities would survive. But they did and were eventually absorbed into Kiev Rus' and then Muscovy, which gradually expanded and laid the foundation for a huge empire. The author uncovers this extraordinary period, from the founding of the Kievan state to the accession of Peter the Great in 1682, describing both the times of danger and defeat and those of expansion and revitalization. Entries cover: o Tsars o Princes and khans o Pretenders and rebels o Patriarchs and priests o Russians o Mongols and others

Download or read book Mythology in the Middle Ages written by Christopher R. Fee and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placing heroes from a wide range of medieval traditions shoulder to shoulder, this title provides the opportunity to examine what is common across medieval mythic, legendary, and folkloric traditions, as well as what seems unique. Myths of gods, legends of battles, and folktales of magic abound in the heroic narratives of the Middle Ages. Mythology in the Middle Ages: Heroic Tales of Monsters, Magic, and Might describes how Medieval heroes were developed from a variety of source materials: Early pagan gods become euhemerized through a Christian lens, and an older epic heroic sensibility was exchanged for a Christian typological and figural representation of saints. Most startlingly, the faces of Christian martyrs were refracted through a heroic lens in the battles between Christian standard-bearers and their opponents, who were at times explicitly described in demonic terms. The book treats readers to a fantastic adventure as author Christopher R. Fee guides them on the trail of some of the greatest heroes of medieval literature. Discussing the meanings of medieval mythology, legend, and folklore through a wide variety of fantastic episodes, themes, and motifs, the journey takes readers across centuries and through the mythic, legendary, and folkloric imaginations of different peoples. Coverage ranges from the Atlantic and Baltic coasts of Europe, south into the Holy Roman Empire, west through the Iberian peninsula, and into North Africa. From there, it is east to Byzantium, Russia, and even the far reaches of Persia.

Book excerpt: "This book deals with the Rus annals (letopisi) and with a variety of related texts concerning the historical past. A new typology of those texts is introduced, together with a comprehensive discussion of how the writing of history came into being in Rus between c.1000 and c.1050. The author focuses on the work of the annalists of Novgorod from c. 1045 to c. 1400, and discusses the functions of annalistic writing in the Rus society. Both the character and the role of the writing of history in Rus is highlighted by means of comparison with other political and cultural areas of medieval Europe, particularly with Anglo-Saxon England"--
