This vast region represents more than two-thirds of the European continent, but its history in general\u2014and its medieval history in particular\u2014is poorly known. This book covers the history of the whole region, from the Balkans to the Carpathian Basin, and the Bohemian Forest to the Finnish Bay. It provides an overview of the current state of research and a route map for navigating an abundant historiography available in more than ten different languages. Chapters cover topics as diverse as religion, architecture, art, state formation, migration, law, trade and the experiences of women and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book is an essential reference for scholars and students of medieval history, as well as those interested in the history of Central and Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introduction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Florin Curta<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
