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 $aNobility$zKyivan Rus 607 $aKyivan Rus$xKings and rulers$xHistory 607 $aKyivan Rus$xRelations$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xRelations$zKyivan Rus 610 $aKiev. 610 $aKingship. 610 $aMedieval Europe. 610 $aRus'. 610 $aRussia. 615 0$aNobility 676 $a947/.02 700 $aRaffensperger$b Christian$01475781 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795496503321 996 $aThe Kingdom of Rus$93857586 997 $aUNINA
