In the 21st century, most people associate the idea of the possession of a person or place by a malevolent supernatural entity with the medieval world, and particularly with the Catholic Church, but the truth is considerably stranger. Virtually every human culture that has ever existed has talked about both possession and exorcism, a rite or ritual used to free a person or place from possession.

Scopri la forza del passato per illuminare il tuo presente: un’epica lezione di saggezza e nobiltà. Scopri i segreti perduti della Cavalleria medievale e lasciati ispirare dalla sua saggezza millenaria, che ancora permea le nostre vite quotidiane. In un mondo in cui la Cavalleria sembra estranea ai nostri valori, questo libro svela l’inconscia presenza di un’etica dimenticata, eppure ancora profondamente, intrinsecamente radicata nell'essenza umana del Terzo Millennio.

The Norman invasion of England in 1066 and the subsequent rule of William the Conqueror are among the best-remembered and often-documented events in European history. What is much less well known is that less than 50 years before the Norman invasion, England was invaded, conquered, and ruled by Scandinavian kings to become part of a North Sea Empire.

From the late eighth century to somewhere around the middle of the 11th century, the history of Europe was dominated by the people who have become known as the Vikings. The Vikings were among the first global explorers who established territory that stretched from North America in the west to Constantinople in the east, and from the frigid wastes of the Arctic in the north to the warm shores of the Mediterranean Sea in the south.

Norse mythology and history is a treasure trove of rituals, beliefs and culture. Take a dive inside the lives and folklore of the Vikings.

Modern communications have driven motorways and pylons through the countryside, dwarfed us with TV and telephone masts, and drastically altered the way in which we move around, see, and understand Scotland. Recent politics and logistics have established borders and jurisdictions which now seem permanent and impervious. The Faded Map looks beyond these to remember a land that was once quiet and green.

The fall of Constantinople in 1453 marked a number of significant historical turning points. It saw the end of the last vestige of the Roman Empire, which had been founded more than 1,400 years before, and marked the beginning of a period of dominance for the growing Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, this moment marked the end of the Middle Ages in Europe and the beginning of the Renaissance, as the fall of Constantinople was directly linked to both these events.

Among those who were responsible for the projection of Ottoman power, few deserve as much credit as the Sipahi. Civilizations across the steppes and the Middle East relied heavily on cavalry, and the Sipahi were elite cavalry units during medieval times for a couple of powers. That said, they were a massive contributor to the success of Ottoman warfare, and during good times for the empire, the Sipahi were rewarded, to the extent that they became their own social class, much like the Janissaries.

The Despensers were a baronial English family who rose to great prominence in the reign of Edward II (1307-27) when Hugh Despenser the Younger became the king's chamberlain, favorite, and perhaps, lover. He and his father Hugh the Elder wielded great influence, and Hugh the Younger's greed and tyranny brought down a king for the first time in English history and almost destroyed his own family. The Rise and Fall of a Medieval Family tells the story of the ups and downs of this fascinating family from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries.

Much of what is known of the Norse myths comes from the 10th century onwards. Until this time and for centuries afterwards, Norse culture (particularly that of Iceland, where the myths were eventually transcribed) was an oral culture. In fact, in all Scandinavian countries well into the 13th century laws were memorized by officials known as “Lawspeakers” who recited them at the “Thing.” The Thing was the legislative assembly in Scandinavia “held for judicial purposes".

Как долго продолжалось татаро-монгольское иго? Кто был автором "Слова о полку Игореве"? Кто назвал князя Александра Невским, а князя Ярослава Мудрым? На эти и многие другие вопросы отвечает доктор исторических наук, главный на-учный сотрудник Института российской истории РАН Антон Горский. В книге "Русское Средневековье" автор восстанавливает историческую справед-ливость и развенчивает некоторые мифы так называемой альтернативной истории. Взгляды А. Горского в ряде случаев отличаются от официально признанных, поэтому погружение в средневековую Русь становится еще более интересным.

This audiobook will provide you with details about the time period in which the Vikings reigned. Learn how the Scandinavian people lived, who sailed as part of the Viking raids, the weapons they used in battle, and their religious beliefs.

Самая интересная аудиокнига про Средние века от автора бестселлера «Чумазое Средневековье». Мы читали о них в рыцарских романах и сатирических новеллах Боккаччо, видели в фильмах, разглядывали на картинах. Но единого мнения как не было, так и нет. Это и понятно – что может быть общего у благородных прекрасных принцесс, ради которых рыцари совершают подвиги, и грязных крестьянок, безропотно умирающих где-то там, на заднем плане сериала или романа?

Викинги очень непросты — они не только грабители и пираты, но еще и талантливые бизнесмены и кораблестроители, прекрасные ремесленники и ювелиры, писатели, сказители и художники, путешественники и просто авантюристы до мозга костей. В одной книге рассказать о них невозможно — невольно что-то останется за бортом.

The Hospitallers started out as caretakers of the Christian pilgrims in Jerusalem, but they soon emerged from their hospices and adopted a new military role that shaped the history of medieval Europe forever. This audiobook seeks to explore the curious rise of the Hospitallers from their humble origins to one of the most powerful institutions in medieval Europe.

Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II.
