商品簡介
This book is the first to compare Denmark and Portugal systematically in the high middle ages to show, how the two countries became strong kingdoms and important powers internationally by participating in the crusading movement. The book illustrates that communication in the middle ages was better developed than often assumed. It was possible to coordinate great military expeditions across the geographical periphery of Western Europe, and institutions, ideas, and military technology was exchanged rapidly.
