About This Book

The work surveys the region's physical setting and ethnographic makeup, then traces the emergence of early principalities from maritime arrivals and local Slavic groups, chronicles internecine dynastic struggles, the disruptive Mongol conquest and its aftermath, and the gradual coalescence of power in the northeast leading to increasingly centralized rule. It examines political, military, and ecclesiastical developments, profiles leading rulers and evolving institutions, and includes maps, genealogical tables, and a glossary to clarify names and places. Annotated sources and historiographical notes accompany the narrative to explain interpretive choices and spelling conventions.
