The contributors analyze cultures that lay outside Charlemagne's limes and the frontiers of the Byzantine Empire, to consider a region stretching from the Balkans to the Baltic and Scandinavia.The volume considers clerics as military leaders and propagandists, the role of Christian ritual and doct.
