The roles of popes, saints, and crusaders were inextricably intertwined in the Middle Ages, yet current scholarship rarely treats these three components of medieval faith together. This book remedies that by bringing together scholars to consider the links among the three and the ways that understanding them can help us build a more complete picture of the working of the church and Christianity in the Middle Ages.

Prior to the high Middle Ages, the Baltic Rim was largely terra incognita, but by the late Middle Ages, it was home to diverse small and large communities. This book traces the transformation of the Baltic Rim in this period through a focus on the self-image of a number of communities: urban and regional, cultic, missionary, legal, and political. Contributors look at how these communities defined themselves in relation to other groups, how they constructed their identities and customs, and what held them together or tore them apart.

A late medieval Icelandic romance about the maiden-king of France, Nítída saga, was well received in its day and grew in popularity throughout post-Reformation Iceland. It has not, however, received the comprehensive scholarly analysis it deserves. Sheryl McDonald Werronen corrects that here, in a detailed study of the saga and its presentation of women and the Icelandic worldview, including questions of identity, gender, female solidarity, and the romance genre itself.

Mary of Nemmegen
The ca. 1518 Translation and the Middle Dutch Analogue, Mariken van Nieumeghen
Edited and Translated by Clifford Davidson, Ton Broos, and Martin Walsh
Mary of Nemmegen, a prose condensation in English of the Middle Dutch play Mariken van Nieumeghen, is an important example of the literature that was imported from Holland in the early part of the sixteenth century and a window to the obsession with the occult in its own time.

Legal Encounters on the Medieval Globe
Edited by Elizabeth Lambourn
Law has been a primary locus and vehicle of contact across human history—as a system of ideas embodied in people and enacted on bodies; and also as a material, textual, and sensory “thing.” This volume analyses a range of legal encounters in various cultural contexts. The seven essays also explore various material expressions of law that reveal the complexity and intensity of cross-cultural contact in this pivotal era.
