At the Gate of Christendom

Exploring the economic, social, legal, and religious dynamics of three minorities in medieval Hungary, this study reveals how their status was influenced by a complex interplay of factors beyond Christian doctrine. It highlights the legal and social systems, economic opportunities, and the tensions between monarchy and clergy. Additionally, the book examines the frontier with the nomadic world, shedding light on its impact on interactions between Christians and non-Christians, as well as its influence on Christian ideology.
