Legal Procedure and Practice in Medieval Denmark
This book offers a comprehensive examination of how the Fourth Lateran Council’s prohibition against trial by ordeal was implemented in Danish secular law and how it required both a fundamental restructuring of legal procedure and an entirely different approach to jurisprudence in practice.
Queen Margrete I, 1353-1412
This book presents the fascinating story of Queen Margrete I and her rise to power in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which culminated in the founding of the Nordic Union in 1397. Based upon the most central contemporary sources, the book gives a vivid picture of medieval society in Scandinavia. Well illustrated.
Textiles and the Medieval Economy
Archaeologists and textile historians bring together 16 papers to investigate the production, trade and consumption of textiles in Scandinavia and across parts of northern and Mediterranean Europe throughout the medieval period. Archaeological evidence is used to demonstrate the existence or otherwise of international trade and to examine the physical characteristics of textiles and their distribution in order to understand who was producing, using and trading them and what they were being used for. Historical evidence, mainly textual, is employed to link textile names to places, numbers and prices and thus provide an appreciation of changing economics, patterns of distribution and the organisation of trade. Different types and qualities of cloths are discussed and the social implications of their production and import/export considered against a developing background of urbanism and increasing commercial wealth.
