Lithuania Ascending

A study of the rise of a pagan state in late medieval Christendom against a background of crises in Europe.

Zusammenfassung
From 1250 to 1795 Lithuania covered a vast area of eastern and central Europe. Until 1387 the country was pagan. How this huge state came to expand, defend itself against western European crusaders and play a conspicuous part in European life are the main subjects of this book, first published in 1994.
