With over 180 maps, expert commentaries and an extensive
bibliography, this second edition of an essential reference guide
to medieval Europe brings the complex and colourful history of the
Middle Ages to life.
The Atlas of Medieval Europe covers the period from the fall of
the Roman Empire through to the beginnings of the Renaissance,
spreading from the Atlantic coast to the Russian steppes. Each map
approaches a separate issue or series of events in medieval
history, and a commentary locates it in its broader context.
This second edition has over forty new maps covering a variety
of topics including:
- the Moravian Empire
- environmental change
- the travels and correspondence of Froissart and travellers in
the east
- the layout of great castles and palaces.
Thorough coverage is also given to geographically peripheral
areas like Portugal, Poland, Scandinavia and Ireland.
Providing a vivid representation of the development of nations,
peoples and social structures, and charting political and military
events, the Atlas takes a detailed look at a variety of key areas
including language and literature; the development of trade, art
and architecture; and the great cities and lives of historical
figures.
Every student of medieval European history should own a copy of
this book.
