The Kingdom of Rus' challenges the perception of Rus' as an eastern 'other' - advancing the idea of the Rus' as a kingdom deeply integrated with medieval Europe, through an innovative analysis of medieval titles. Examining a wide range of medieval sources, this book exposes the common practice in scholarship of referring to Russian rulers as princes as a relic of early modern attempts to diminish the Rus'. Not only was Rus' part and parcel of medieval Europe, but in the eleventh and twelfth centuries Rus' was the largest kingdom in Christendom.Past imperfect (ARC Humanities Press)NobilityKievan RusKyivan RusKings and rulersHistoryKyivan RusRelationsEuropeEuropeRelationsKievan RusNobility947.02Raffensperger Christian1666310MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957489903321The Kingdom of Rus4025696UNINA
