Alexander V. Maiorov - The Routledge Handbook of the Mongols and Central-Eastern Europe

The Routledge Handbook of the Mongols and Central-Eastern Europe offers a comprehensive overview of the Mongols military, political, socio-economic, and cultural relations with Central and Eastern European nations between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries.

The Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous land empire in history, and one which contributed to the establishment of political, commercial, and cultural contacts between all Eurasian regions. The Golden Horde, founded in Eastern Europe by Chinggis Khans grandson, Batu, in the thirteenth century, was the dominant power in the region. For 200 years, all of the countries and peoples of Central and Eastern Europe had to reckon with a powerful centralized state with enormous military potential. Some chose to submit to the Mongols, whilst others defended their independence, but none could avoid the influence of this powerful empire. In this book, 25 chapters examine this crucial period in Central-Eastern European history, including trade, confrontation, and cultural and religious exchange between the Mongols and their neighbours.

This book will be an essential reference for scholars and students of the Mongols, and also those interested in the political, social, and economic history of medieval Central-Eastern Europe.

Alexander V. Maiorov is Professor and Head of the Department of Museology at St. Petersburg State University, Russia.

Roman Hautala is a Docent in the Department of History at University of Oulu, Finland.
