Modern life in increasingly heterogeneous societies has directed
attention to patterns of interaction, often using a framework of
persecution and tolerance. This study of the economic, social,
legal and religious position of three minorities (Jews, Muslims and
pagan Turkic nomads) argues that different degrees of exclusion and
integration characterized medieval non-Christian status in the
medieval Christian kingdom of Hungary between 1000 and 1300. A
complex explanation of non-Christian status emerges from the
analysis of their economic, social, legal and religious positions
and roles. Existence on the frontier with the nomadic world led to
the formulation of a frontier ideology, and to anxiety about
Hungary's detachment from Christendom, which affected policies
towards non-Christians. The study also succeeds in integrating
central European history with the study of the medieval world,
while challenging such current concepts in medieval studies as
frontier societies, persecution and tolerance, ethnicity and 'the
other'.
