Feasting and Elite Legitimisation in Poland and Norway
This article explores the ways in which the political legitimacy of the elites was produced and demonstrated through feasting as it was practised in two peripheral high-medieval polities, Poland and Norway. By paying attention to the ways the political and moral economy of feasts and their use as a means of propaganda and political recognition were presented in contemporary sources, this article, through two case studies of peripheral languages o…
Introduction
In this introduction, we argue that the key to understanding the means and dynamics of political order in the peripheral polities during the era of Europeanization (1000–1300) lies in exploring the practices of (self-)legitimisation by the peripheral elites in Poland and Norway. The article proposes a novel agenda-setting theoretical and methodological framework for how medievalists can study elite legitimation and relations between core European…

St Adalbert as a stranger-king
There was no holy king in Poland during the Middle Ages.Although the Piast polity belonged to the North-eastern European periphery (East-Central Europe and Scandinavia), where essentially all post-1000 CE polities boasted dynastic martyred holy rulers of native origin, the Piasts never elevated a member of their kin to such a position.The present article takes this puzzling exception as a point of departure to advance the argument that the episco…

In his 1585 treatise Pro lege, rege et grege , then-Royal Chancellor Erik Sparre (1550–1600) sought to conceptualize a novel relationship between the king, the crown of the realm, and the people of Sweden. Sparre saw the council of the realm, the body of which he was a member, as the keystone

In his 1585 treatise Pro lege, rege et grege, then-Royal Chancellor Erik Sparre (1550–1600) sought to conceptualize a novel relationship between the king, the crown of the realm, and the people of Sweden. Sparre saw the council of the realm, the body of which he was a member, as the keystone locking together the relationship of all these political subjects, and thus the ultimate protector of the interests of the crown. In order to clearly separat…
St Adalbertus domesticus. Patterns of Missioning and Episcopal Power in Poland and Scandinavia, in the Eleven to Thirteenth Centuries
This article explores the ways episcopal milieus on the north-eastern peripheries of Europe created and renewed their identities and symbols of episcopal authority by domesticating their immigrant saints during the high Middle Ages. By comparing the examples of holy bishops arriving to Poland and Sweden (St Adalbert, St Sigfrid, St Henry), it studies the episcopal mythopoesis, that is, the creation of foundational myths and mythologies as well as…
Imagined Communities on the Baltic Rim
Prior to the high Middle Ages, the Baltic Rim was largely terra incognita-but by the late Middle Ages, it was home to diverse small and large communities. But the Baltic Rim was not simply the place those people lived-it was also an imagined space through which they defined themselves and their identities. This book traces the transformation of the Baltic Rim in this period through a focus on the self-image of a number of communities: urban and r…

Æthelweardus redivivus
The tenth‐century Chronicon Æthelweardi has usually been treated as nothing more than a Latin translation of the Anglo‐Saxon Chronicle. This article reinterprets it by postulating the chronicle's originality and its author's careful consideration of its composition. Both the content and the form of the Chronicon Æthelweardi are here discussed from several points of view: the question of the coming of the Anglo‐Saxons to Britain; the ideological a…
