The commutation of his death sentence was an epiphany for Odle. Prior to the commutation of his death sentence, Odle li...
Ecologies of Crusading, Colonization, and Religious Conversion in the Medieval Baltic
In the thirteenth century, crusading armies unleashed a relentless holy war against the pagan tribal groups of the Eastern Baltic, whose territories were conquered and reorganized into Christian states run by the Teutonic Order, bishops, and their cathedral chapters. Castles were built, towns established, and colonists encouraged to settle under the leadership of the new Christian theocracy. But the changes introduced alongside Christianity not only transformed the culture of eastern Baltic societies, but also had a profound and--for the Baltic tribes, who saw many aspects of the natural world as sacred--deeply significant impact on the local environment. This seminal period in the environme...

Irish Society, Anglo-Norman Settlers, Angevin Kingship
In this study of Anglo-Norman intervention in Ireland during the reign of Henry II (1154-89), Flanagan explores the origins of the political link between Ireland and the English crown. She focuses on the reasons why Diarmait Mac Murchada, the exiled king of Leinster, hired Anglo-Norman mercenaries to help him regain his kingdom; why Anglo-Norman settlers from South Wales accepted his offer of employment in Ireland; and why this in turn provoked a reaction from King Henry II, who intervened in person in Ireland in 1171-72. Drawing on evidence from both 12th-century Irish and Anglo-Norman sources, Flanagan bridges the artificial division between the pre-Norman and post-Norman periods in Ireland.
