  • Scandinavia in the Middle Ages 900-1550

    Between Two Oceans

    by Kirsi Salonen, Kurt Villads Jensen ...

    by Kirsi Salonen, Jussi Hanska ...
    Series series Church, Faith and Culture in the Medieval West

    Popes, Saints, and Crusaders

    Edited by Kirsi Salonen, Sari Katajala-Peltomaa ...
    Series series Crossing Boundaries: Turku Medieval and Early Modern Studies
    The roles of popes, saints, and crusaders were inextricably intertwined in the Middle Ages: papal administration was fundamental in the making and promulgating of new saints and in financing crusades, while crusaders used saints as propaganda to back up the authority of popes, and even occasionally ended up being sanctified themselves. Yet, current scholarship rarely treats these three components ... Read more

    Edited by Marika Räsänen, Kirsi Salonen ...
    Series series Collection de l'École française de Rome
    The Great Western Schism (1378-1417) is considered the deepest crisis of the late medieval Church. The contested election of Pope Urban VI in 1378 divided the Catholic Church into two competing factions: the Roman papacy under Pope Urban VI and the French papacy under Clement VII. The Schism had severe consequences, especially for the Roman papacy: the papal administration in Rome lost most of its ... Read more

    Rebuilding Rome in the Early Middle Ages

    by Maya Maskarinec ...

After the move of the Empire's capital to Constantinople in the fourth century and the Gothic Wars in the sixth century, Rome was gradually depleted physically, economically, and politically. How then, asks Maya Maskarinec, did this exhausted city, with limited Christian ... Read more
