The 'Gesta' defends not only hierocratic conceptions but the Danish hegemonic project in the Baltic - which was grounded in the crusade movements. Such movements are presented through complex language and imagery about a glorious past brought to bear on the projects in the thirteenth century while internal tensions strengthen the monarchic and ecclesiastical institutions.CARMEN monographs and studies.CrusadesHegemonyDenmarkHistoryTo 1500ClergyPolitical activityDenmarkHistoryTo 1500DenmarkHistoryTo 1241Baltic Sea RegionChurch historyDenmarkChurch historyDenmarkKings and rulersHistoryBaltic Sea RegionHistoryChristianity in Scandinavia.Denmark.Medieval Scandinavia.Northern Crusades.Crusades.HegemonyHistoryClergyPolitical activityHistory948.9/015Muceniecks André1518382UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910794986603321Saxo Grammaticus3755935UNINA
