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 Rusian 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. 410 0$aPast imperfect (ARC Humanities Press) 606 $aNobility$zKievan Rus 607 $aKievan Rus$xKings and rulers$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xRelations$zKievan Rus 607 $aKievan Rus$xRelations$zEurope 615 0$aNobility 676 $a947/.02 700 $aRaffensperger$b Christian$01030198 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910478884403321 996 $aThe kingdom of Rus'$92481551 997 $aUNINA
