Medieval Frontier Societies

This is the first study of the nature of frontiers and frontier society in the Middle Ages. Focusing on the frontiers between England and Scotland, Wales, and Ireland; between Castile and Grenada; and on the Elbe, the book examines the consequences for frontier societies of being located in areas of cross-cultural contact and confrontation. This comparative study by expert contributors throws new light on our thinking about frontiers, and fills a major gap in the history of medieval Europe.Bartlett, Robert is the author of 'Medieval Frontier Societies', published 1992 under ISBN 9780198203612 and ISBN 0198203616.
