Cities of Strangers

Making Lives in Medieval Europe

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examining how 'strangers' - settling newcomers as well as settled ethnic and religious minorities - were treated in urban communities between 1000 and 1500, Cities of Strangers explores pathways to citizenship and arrangements for those unlikely to become citizens during a period of formative urban growth and its aftermath in medieval Europe.
