Overview
Key facts
- The Baltic Crusades remind us that not all crusaders journeyed to Jerusalem. These crusades are the most controversial medieval crusading movement and still resonate in the current tensions between Russia, Sweden and the Baltic States.
- Catholic missionaries, Military Orders, German and Scandinavian crusaders brought the pagan Slavs, Balts, Estonians, Lithuanians and Finns into the Catholic world through a combination of conquest, colonisation and Christianisation.
- University of Strathclyde's The Cross of Iron - The Baltic Crusades 1100-1410 will teach you more about this.
Programme Structure
- Using a rich variety of sources explore this fascinating but little known theatre of crusading.
- Consider how these crusades differed, the role of Christianisation, the significance of the Teutonic Order, and the rivalries with Poland and the Russian principalities. Learn through illustrated lectures with online resources.
