The Evolution and Function of the Danube Frontier of Byzantium (1000–1204) -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index of People -- Index of Geographical Names -- Index of Sources -- Index of Modern Authors.The current state of research on this contact area between Byzantium and East Central Europe during a troubled period invites a new synthesis of the most recent finds and interpretations.

The main purpose Alexandru Madgearu's book is to establish a chronology for the provincial organization and for the development of the Danubian frontier. First a shield against the Rus’, the province of Dristra, later called Paradunavon, became further a contact and conflict area with the Pechenegs and Cumans, turned by the end of the 11th century in a half-open space, according to the new strategy of Alexius I Comnenus.East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 450-145022.Danube River RegionHistory, MilitaryByzantine EmpireHistory, Military527-1081Byzantine EmpireHistory, Military1081-1453355.309495Madgearu Alexandru1604245MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821899003321Byzantine military organization on the Danube, 10th-12th centuries3929016UNINA
