The initial work was a project to examine the archives of the Livonian High Court (Sw. hovrätt), one of the oldest high courts established in the Swedish realm in the seventeenth century. It soon became evident, however, that the functions of the High Court could not be understood without setting them in a larger context – that of the entire new judiciary which was emerging after Sweden had conquered Livonia. As is so often the case in scholarship, the end product looks rather different to that which had been envisaged at the outset. At this point, it is my pleasure to thank people who have helped along the way. I do not think I would ever have embarked on the first archival trips to the Latvian Historical State Archives in Riga had it not been for Pia Letto-Vanamo. We delved into the High Court’s archive together, and the results of those first trips were also published in a co-authored article. I benefited a great deal from Pia’s expertise in seventeenth-century legal history and sources, which were not my strong point at the time. Because of her patience and assistance in the early stages, the many trips I made to the beautiful city of Riga afterwards were much easier. Tartu, which I like to think of as the spiritual capital of Estonia, has been just as fundamental for this study as Riga. Mart Kuldkepp spent innumerable hours at the Estonian State Archives, collecting material from the Livonian lower court archives for this study. Mart was always reliable, knowledgeable – and extremely efficient. The personnel in both the Latvian and the Estonian archives deserve special thanks for their flexibility and understanding. Marju Luts, my old Tartu connection and good friend, helped me enormously in un- derstanding the Estonian and Baltic past and present a little better. During the past few years, I have been involved in many other projects and scholarly undertakings as well. If this work has one common denomina- tor, it is the comparative method in legal history. Comparative legal history has emerged forcefully in recent years, and many of my good friends and col- leagues in different countries deserve thanks for drawing me into these cir- cles. I would be a different scholar had I never come to know people such as Albrecht Cordes, Serge Dauchy, Dave De ruysscher, Seán Donlan, Markus Dub- ber, Thomas Duve, Dirk Heirbaut, Jaakko Husa, Georges Martyn, Aniceto Mas- ferrer, Dag Michalsen, Kjell Åke Modéer, Anthony Musson, Peter Oestmann, Mathias Schmoeckel, Ditlev Tamm, Alain Wijffels, and James Whitman. Many of them have been instrumental in founding the European Society for Com- parative Legal History and its journal Comparative Legal History, which have grown to be vital frameworks for me. <UN> viii Acknowledgements The vibrant community of legal historians at the Faculty of Law at the Uni- versity of Helsinki has been an important home base for me. Jukka Kekkonen, Jussi Sallila, Juhana Salojärvi, Toni Malminen, and all my doctoral students – you know what I mean. During my five-year period as academy research fellow at the Academy of Finland, I enjoyed their generous funding, which made research trips and re- search help possible, not to mention the benefit of being entirely free from teaching. The last phases in making a book are always the most arduous and nerve- consuming. As my research assistant, Sofia Söderholm has helped me with ev- erything that needed to be done: a true administrative talent, Sofia has looked for literature, proofread different versions, helped with the index, and kept my files in order. With enormous accuracy and speed, Sara Elin Roberts copy- edited the manuscript and corrected my English. I am much indebted to Sara not only for her technical and linguistic corrections, but for her comments on the substance as well. Marcella Mulder at Brill has shown great patience, flexibility, and expertise throughout. Last but not least, Mia Korpiola has read several versions of the manuscript and thus made this a much better book. However, it has not only been about reading texts. A passionate legal historian, Mia has always been ready to engage in discussions on the nature of compara- tive legal history, and Scandinavian and Baltic legal history. Mia’s wide knowl- edge of literature, and her deep understanding of European legal history and archival work never cease to impress me. Despite all these thanks, all remain- ing mistakes are my own responsibility.

    CLIMATIC VARIABILITY IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY EUROPE AND ITS SOCIAL DIMENSION: A SYNTHESIS CHRISTIAN PFISTER', RUDOLF BRAzDIL2 IInstitute afHistory, University a/Bern, Unitobler, CH-3000 Bern 9, Switzerland 2Department a/Geography, Masaryk University, Kotlar8M 2, CZ-61137 Bmo, Czech Republic Abstract. The introductory paper to this special issue of Climatic Change sununarizes the results of an array of studies dealing with the reconstruction of climatic trends and anomalies in sixteenth­ century Europe and their impact on the natural and the social world. Areas discussed include glacier expansion in the Alps, the frequency of natural hazards (floods in central and southem Europe and stonns on the Dutch North Sea coast), the impact of climate deterioration on grain prices and wine production, and finally, witch-hlllltS. The documentary data used for the reconstruction of seasonal and annual precipitation and temperatures in central Europe (Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic) include narrative sources, several types of proxy data and 32 weather diaries. Results were compared with long-tenn composite tree ring series and tested statistically by cross-correlating series of indices based OIl documentary data from the sixteenth century with those of simulated indices based on instrumental series (1901-1960). It was shown that series of indices can be taken as good substitutes for instrumental measurements. A corresponding set of weighted seasonal and annual series of temperature and precipitation indices for central Europe was computed from series of temperature and precipitation indices for Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, the weights being in proportion to the area of each country. The series of central European indices were then used to assess temperature and precipitation anomalies for the 1901-1960 period using trmlsfer functions obtained from instrumental records.

  • A Look at Schillings of the Free Imperial City of Riga by Charles Calkins
    A Look at Schillings of the Free Imperial City of Riga by Charles Calkins The seaport of Riga is the capital of Latvia and the largest city of the Balkan states. It is located on the Gulf of Riga, a bay of the Baltic Sea, at the mouth of the Daugava river. The area was settled in ancient times by the Livs, a Finnic tribe, giving the area its name of Livonia. Riga began developing economically due to the Daugava being used as a Viking trade route to Byzantium. By the 12th century, German traders were visiting Riga, establishing an outpost near Riga in 1158. After a failed attempt at Christianization in the late 1100s, Bishop Albert landed with a force of crusaders in 1200, and transferred the Livonian bishopric to Riga in 1201, which became the Archbishopric of Riga in 1255. Albert established the Order of Livonian Brothers of the Sword in 1202 to defend territory and commerce, and Emperor Philip of Swabia caused Livonia to become a principality of the Holy Roman Empire. The Order of Livonian Brothers was given one-third of Livonia, and the Church the other two-thirds, which included Riga. In 1211, Riga minted its first coinage, and gradually gained more independence through the 1200s. In 1236, the Order of Livonian Brothers was defeated in battle with the Samogitians of Lithuania. The remaining Brothers were incorporated into the Teutonic Knights as a branch known as the Livonian Order. The Livonian Order subsequently gained control of Livonia. In 1282, Riga became a member of the Hanseatic League, a confederation of towns and merchant guilds which provided legal and military protection.

  • 17 Infidel Turks and Schismatic Russians in Late Medieval Livonia
    Madis Maasing 17 Infidel Turks and Schismatic Russians in Late Medieval Livonia 17.1 Introduction At the beginning of the sixteenth century, political rhetoric in Livonia was shaped by the threat posed by an alien power: Following a significant deterio- ration in the relations between the Catholic Livonian territories and their mighty Eastern Orthodox neighbour – the Grand Duchy of Moscow – war broke out, lasting from 1501 to 1503, with renewed armed conflict remaining an immi- nent threat until 1509. During this period of confrontation, and afterwards, the Livonians (i.e., the political elite of Livonia) fulminated in their political writ- ings about the gruesome, schismatic, and even infidel Russians, who posed a threat not only to Livonia, but to Western Christendom in general. In the Holy Roman Empire and at the Roman Curia, these allegations were quite favoura- bly received. Arguably, the Livonians’ greatest success took the form of a papal provision for two financially profitable anti-Russian indulgence campaigns (1503–1510). For various political reasons, the motif of a permanent and general ‘Russian threat’ had ongoing currency in Livonia up until the Livonian War (1558–1583). Even after the collapse of the Livonian territories, the Russian threat motif continued to be quite effectively used by other adversaries of Mos- cow – e.g., Poland-Lithuania and Sweden. I will focus here first and foremost on what was behind the initial success of the Russian threat motif in Livonia, but I will also address why it persisted for as long as it did. A large part of its success was the fact that it drew upon a similar phenomenon – the ‘Turkish threat’,1 which played a significant role in the political rhetoric of Early Modern Europe, especially in south-eastern 1 This research was supported by the Estonian Research Council’s PUT 107 programme, “Me- dieval Livonia: European Periphery and its Centres (Twelfth–Sixteenth Centuries)”, and by the European Social Fund’s Doctoral Studies and Internationalization Programme DoRa, which is carried out by Foundation Archimedes.

  • Discipline in Polish-Lithuanian Cavalry Units During Battles in the Early Modern Period1
    Open Military Studies 2020; 1: 44–61 Karol Łopatecki* Discipline in Polish-Lithuanian cavalry units during battles in the early modern period1 https://10.1515/openms-2020-0104 Received Jul 13, 2020; accepted Sep 08, 2020 Abstract: Keywords: articles of war, military discipline, organization of cavalry, tactics in the 16th-18th c., desertion, old-Polish art of war The Polish and Lithuanian military in the modern period developed in a different direction from most European areas. First and foremost, it is emphasized that we did not deal with military revolution (it would be better to use the term “evolution”), which did not bring about the origins of a modern military-fiscal state on the territory of the Commonwealth2. This issue certainly requires comprehensive studies, since from at least the mid-17th century onwards, both on the military level as well as in the state organization, the Commonwealth coped well with strong enemies: the Teutonic Order (1519-1521), the Roman Empire (Austria) (1587-1588), the Kingdom of Sweden and the Tsardom of Moscow (1557- 1582, 1600-1629, 1632-1635) and the Ottoman Empire (1621, 1633-1634) 3. The research on transformations occurring in the 16th century indicate crucial changes in the military, but different from those developed in Western Europe. Among the differences it is important to name primarily the reliance on cavalry which fought with polearms and cutting weapons. Moreover, the Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania lacked strongholds understood as large cities fortified with bastions4. These two elements, as well as deficiencies of the fiscal system, which were “patched” by complementing paid troops with private units, district troops and Mass Mobilization5, 1 The article was written as part of the research project of the National Centre for Science SONATA, no.
