This volume addresses the history of
saints and sainthood in the Middle Ages
in the Baltic Region, with a special focus
on the cult of saints in Russia, Prussia,
Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, and
Latvia (Livonia). Essays explore such
topics as the introduction of foreign (and
old) saints into new regions, the
creation of new local cults of saints in
newly Christianized regions, the role of
the cult of saints in the creation of
political and lay identities, and the
potential role of saints in times of war.
