It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term, but it is clear that church clergy occupied a privileged place in medieval society. Europe had inherited Christianity from the Roman Empire, and the concept of a united Christendom and empire were practically synonymous. Indeed, there was no real consciousness of the Roman Empire ever having ended.

A respected and controversial scholar argues that the Crusades were a justified war waged against Muslim terror and aggression. This book takes on the current vogue in liberal thinking to argue that, in fact, the Crusades were not unprovoked. They were not the first round of European colonialism. They were not conducted for land, loot, or converts. The Crusaders were not barbarians who victimized the cultivated Muslims. They sincerely believed that they served in God’s Battalions.

"Инквизиция"… Слово, окутанное мрачными легендами. Ей приписывают многочисленные казни, жуткие пытки и тысячи невинных жертв. Но все ли так однозначно? В своей книге Сергей Нечаев объективно рассматривает это явление и подробно описывает историю инквизиции, начиная с ее возникновения. Автор опирается на сочинения историков, документы эпохи Средневековья и свидетельства современников. Он рассказывает о громких судебных процессах над Жанной д'Арк и Жилем де Рэ и об испанской инквизиции, которая традиционно (и справедливо ли?) считается самой жестокой.

Эта книга рассказывает о том, о чем обычно молчат исторические источники, — о частной жизни людей эпохи Средневековья и раннего Нового времени, об их личных переживаниях, о супружеской любви и об изменах, о неразделенных чувствах, о дружбе, обидах, попытках решить семейные проблемы самостоятельно или прибегая к помощи официальных инстанций. Героями историй, собранных здесь, стали самые простые обыватели, о которых почти никогда не упоминалось в хрониках, в теологических сочинениях, дидактических трактатах или художественных произведениях.

The Viking Great Army landed in East Anglia in late 865 and over the following fifteen years it fought numerous battles in all four Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, made and broke peace treaties, and deposed or killed at least three Anglo-Saxon kings, replacing them with its own appointees. It had a major impact on English society, initiating extensive transformations in Anglo-Saxon society, culture, economy, and political organization. Previous Viking armies had raided only in the summer months, but the Great Army was a constant presence over this period.

Vikingstock is about more than blond hair, blue-eyed Norwegians. It is about more than braided-beards and manbuns. So much of popular culture has turned everything Viking into a trope; from superheroes to TV series but Norse heritage is often shrouded in all of this minutiae. Vikingstock finally breaks through all the misinformation and shows the Norse/Vikings and by extension, the Russian Vikings for what they really were and what they have become.

The Bethlem hospital for the mentally insane has existed since the year 1244. Originally an alms house for Holy Land Crusaders, it became a dumping ground for the incurably insane. The bestial care became public entertainment in the Victorian era, conditions so horrendous that it earned the nickname of ‘Bedlam’.
