Description: The Scandinavian Baltic Crusades 11001500 by David Lindholm, Dr David Nicolle, Angus McBride Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Wielding their swords in the name of their faith, the crusaders set out to reclaim Jerusalem and its surrounding territory in the Middle East. As with the majority of crusades, the prospective acquisition of land was the one of the key driving forces behind these bloody military expeditions. This book reveals the history of these Crusades. Publisher Description This book describes and illustrates the armour, weapons, fortifications and ships of one of the least-known phases of the Medieval Crusades - the expeditions by Scandinavian Catholics against the pagan peoples to the east of the Baltic Sea, and their subsequent clashes with the Eastern Orthodox Russian princes of Novgorod and Muscovy. From isolated castles built in this bleak wilderness of forests, lakes and bogs, the small garrisons struggled equally against the enemy and the harsh terrain and climate. The text is illustrated with photographs of rare museum relics and of castles, and spirited colour plates by Angus McBride. Author Biography David Lindholm MA, was born in 1970.
