In the course of the following three centuries, Finland, Estonia, Livonia and Prussia were incorporated into the Latin world through processes of conquest, Christianisation and settlement, and brought under the rule of Western monarchies and ecclesiastical institutions.

The development of individual regions in the geographically poorly demarcated area that constituted the Ostsiedlung is not being sketched here.

It was manufactured extensively in Pomerania by the 13th century, when more advanced manufacturing methods, such as the tunnel kiln, enabled the mass production of ceramic household goods. In Germany and some Slavic countries, most notably Poland, the Ostsiedlung was perceived in nationalist circles as a prelude to contemporary expansionism and Germanisation efforts, the slogan used for this perception was Drang nach Osten Drive or Push to the East. The Margravate of Meissen and Transylvania were populated by German settlers, beginning in the 12th century. Fortifications were occupied and new castles built, reinforced by military units to exert military control and collect tributes.

  • Where Boys, Girls and Children Come From
    Studia Anglica Posnaniensia 47, 2-3, 2012 doi: 10.2478/v10121-012-0004-x WHERE BOYS, GIRLS AND CHILDREN COME FROM BORIS HLEBEC University of Belgrade ABSTRACT The etymology of three very frequent English words child, girl and boy has been notoriously obscure because researchers have failed to pay attention to possible Slavic influence. This article is aimed at rectifying this major oversight by providing abundant evidence of both formal and semantic similarities between the English items and the corresponding Slavic ones and at estab- lishing Scandinavian as an intermediary for girl and boy, no such connector being necessary for child. 1. child In the Germanic sphere there are a number of cognates of ModE child (< OE cild /tSild/ > /tSi:ld/ ‘baby’ > ‘boy or girl, offspring’) and colt ‘young male of horse; inexperienced person’. The form child bears the greatest similarity to the Gothic noun kilþei ‘uterus, womb’, while colt is more like OSwed. kulder/kolder > Mod. Swed. kult, kulting ‘half-grown animal; boy’ and Dan. kuld ‘children from the same marriage; litter of animals’. The Gothic nouns kilþei and inkilþō both meaning ‘womb’ are believed to come from *kwel- to which the dental suffix was added. The Swedish and Danish forms stem from the expanded IE apophonic variant *kwol- ‘tribe’, which also has a reflex in OGr. kholpos ‘womb, vagina’ (*kwol- + -p). All these forms may claim affinity with child on the ground of both form and meaning. Although the primary meaning ‘baby; the unborn or newly born human be- ing; foetus, infant’ of OE cild shows its connection with Goth.

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

  • The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade
    Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 18 January 2017 THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PRUSSIAN CRUSADE The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the Crusade against the Prussian tribes in the thirteenth century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order that lasted into the six- teenth century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the thirteenth century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with writ- ten and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any lan- guage, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promot- ing international awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades.

  • Prisoners of War in the Baltic in the XII-XIII Centuries
    Prisoners of war in the Baltic in the XII-XIII centuries Kurt Villads Jensen* University of Stockholm Abstract Warfare was cruel along the religious borders in the Baltic in the twelfth and thirteenth century and oscillated between mass killing and mass enslavement. Prisoners of war were often problematic to control and guard, but they were also of huge economic importance. Some were used in production, some were ransomed, some held as hostages, all depending upon status of the prisoners and needs of the slave owners. Key words Warfare, prisoners of war. Baltic studies. Baltic crusades. Slavery. Religious warfare. Medieval genocide. Resumen La guerra fue una actividad cruel en las fronteras religiosas bálticas entre los siglos XII y XIII, que osciló entre la masacre y la esclavitud en masa. El control y guarda de los prisioneros de guerra era frecuentemente problemático, pero también tenían una gran importancia económica. Algunos eran empleados en actividades productivas, algunos eran rescatados y otros eran mantenidos como rehenes, todo ello dependiendo del estatus del prisionero y de las necesidades de sus propietarios.

  • The Episcopate and Reconquest in Thetimes of Alfonso Vii of Castile
    chapter 7 The Episcopate and Reconquest in the Times of Alfonso vii of Castile and León Carlos de Ayala Martínez Bishops and the Reception of the Crusade Idea in the Kingdoms of León and Castile If there is any specific theme that would allow us to place the rule of Alfonso vii (1126–1157) in a proper political and ideological context, it is the idea of crusade. When this monarch ascended to the throne in 1126, it had been only three years since the moment when the First Council of the Lateran had sanctified the crusade movement and granted those who would participate in it spiritual protection and absolution.1 And when, roughly thirty years later in 1157, the king was dying while returning from an unsuccessful campaign in Andalusia, it had been only nine years since Christendom had experienced the bitter taste of defeat during the Second Crusade, which humiliated St Bernard and his teachings.2 The Iberian Peninsula and more specifically the lands of León and Castile ruled by Alfonso vii were by no means separated from this intensified ful- filment of the crusade idea, in which Christian Europe was involved in the quarter-century between the First Lateran Council in 1123 and the failed at- tempt at conquering Damascus in 1148. First of all, Calixtus ii’s general council did not ignore the Iberian Peninsula.

  • The Clash Between Pagans and Christians: the Baltic Crusades from 1147-1309
    The Clash between Pagans and Christians: The Baltic Crusades from 1147-1309 Honors Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with honors research distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Donald R. Shumaker The Ohio State University May 2014 Project Advisor: Professor Heather J. Tanner, Department of History 1 The Baltic Crusades started during the Second Crusade (1147-1149), but continued into the fifteenth century. Unlike the crusades in the Holy Lands, the Baltic Crusades were implemented in order to combat the pagan tribes in the Baltic. These crusades were generally conducted by German and Danish nobles (with occasional assistance from Sweden) instead of contingents from England and France. Although the Baltic Crusades occurred in many different countries and over several centuries, they occurred as a result of common root causes. For the purpose of this study, I will be focusing on the northern crusades between 1147 and 1309. In 1309 the Teutonic Order, the monastic order that led these crusades, moved their headquarters from Venice, where the Order focused on reclaiming the Holy Lands, to Marienberg, which was on the frontier of the Baltic Crusades. This signified a change in the importance of the Baltic Crusades and the motivations of the crusaders. The Baltic Crusades became the main theater of the Teutonic Order and local crusaders, and many of the causes for going on a crusade changed at this time due to this new focus. Prior to the year 1310 the Baltic Crusades occurred for several reasons. A changing knightly ethos combined with heightened religious zeal and the evolution of institutional and ideological changes in just warfare and forced conversions were crucial in the development of the Baltic Crusades.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE FITTING FROM HALICZANY IN THE CONTEXT OF OTHER EARLY MEDIEVAL FINDS FROM SELECTED AREAS OF THE WESTERN SLAVIC TERRITORIES1 ZBIGNIEW ROBAK The paper presents some remarks on the chronology and spatial distribution of the late avar, carolingian, and great Moravian finds in selected areas of the Western Slavic Territories. The main subject of this paper is to analyse a particular item found in haliczany, chełm county in Poland. The fitting fromh aliczany has already been subjected to typological and chronological analyses twice. in each case, however, it led the authors to entirelly different conclusions and since the space for its interpretation remains broad, it requires some clarification. The purpose of the study is to indicate possible origins of the fitting fromh aliczany in terms of both typology and the route it travelled to finally reach the areas of today eastern Poland. There are two competing explanations that are examined in this paper concerning either carolingian or nomadic origins of the item in question. in the methodological dimension the paper provides arguments in favour of considering even single finds in a context broader than only stylistic speculations, including also cultural, historical, and when possible also ‘geopolitical’ determinants. key words: early Middle ages, central europe, late avar culture, carolingian culture, Slavic culture.

  • A Contribution to Pre-Polish Antiquity
    A Contribution to Pre-Polish Antiquity Wojciech J. Cynarski ( [email protected] ) Uniwersytet Rzeszowski / University of Rzeszow Research article Keywords: Lusatian culture, defensive architecture, martial art, hoplology, Western Slavs Posted Date: October 12th, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-88193/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/17 Abstract In many issues, a scientic discussion about the beginnings of Slavicism (Pol. Słowiańszczyzna) raises doubts and controversy. This essay is not a contribution about another excavation, but rather a statement at a higher level of generality - an attempt at a kind of synthesizing approach on the basis of logical deduction. The author stands on the side of supporters of the indigenous theory of the origin of the Slavs, which he argues by citing several logical justications. The considerations concern a fairly wide range - from the Lusatian culture in the 8th century BC, when Scythian statehood dominated in its neighbourhood, to the 15th century and the great victory of the Kingdom of Poland in alliance with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania over the state of the Teutonic Order. The mainstream consideration, however, concerns the war tradition of the early Slavs and the rst Piasts. The emphasis is also on the specicity of the martial art of Lechites and Poles, compared to the traditions of neighbouring peoples. Introduction Hoplology, as a science of the warriors' weapons and cultures, is related to the broadly understood anthropology of martial arts. In this perspective, the issues of the development of the martial art of ancient peoples should be claried, while using the achievements of other disciplines and scientic subdisciplines.
