This book brings together articles based on papers given at the "Scandinavia and the Balkans: Cultural Interactions with Byzantium and Eastern Europe in the First Millennium" conference, held on 25 and 26 September 2012 at the New Bulgarian University, Sofia. The conference was designed to pave the way for studies on the connections between the Balkans and Scandinavia to develop within a broader context, to promote the successes of the researchers who have dedicated their efforts to this scholarly field, and to articulate the importance of this topic to scholarly investigations, education and

The reputation of the Normans is rooted in warfare, faith and mobility. They were simultaneously famed as warriors, noted for their religious devotion, and celebrated as fearless travellers. In the Middle Ages few activities offered a better conduit to combine warfare, religiosity, and movement than crusading and pilgrimage. However, while scholarship is abundant on many facets of the Norman world, it is a surprise that the Norman relationship with crusading and pilgrimage, so central in many ways to Norman identity, has hitherto not received extensive treatment.
The collection here seeks to fill this gap. It aims to identify what was unique or different about the Normans and their relationship with crusading and pilgrimage, as well as how and why crusade and pilgrimage were important to the Normans. Particular focus is given to Norman participation in the First Crusade, to Norman interaction in later crusading initiatives, to the significance of pilgrimage in diverse parts of the Norman world, and finally to the ways in which crusading and pilgrimage were recorded in Norman narrative. Ultimately, this volume aims to assess, in some cases to confirm, and in others to revise the established paradigm of the Normans as crusaders par excellence and as opportunists who used religion to serve other agendas.

Following King John's loss of Normandy to King Philip Augustus in 1204, the ties that had bound the Anglo-French nobility across the Channel began to dissolve. The Scottish nobility had also been part of the Anglo-French structureof lordship; and thus the loss of Normandy made a deep and profound impact on Scotland, as Anglo-French Scottish families began to redefine their identity within a native Scottish and English context apart from their French roots. The author of this book investigates this complex set of connections. She shows that by the end of the thirteenth century, the number of Scottish families who still held land in France or made French marriages was slashed by two-thirds. Cross-Channel relations were maintained mainly through the extended kin of the Scottish royal family, while the crown of Scotland focused more on promoting relations with England. Ironically, it was precisely this disintegration of kin-based, personal relations between the nobility of these three polities that made it necessary for a formal bond (The Treaty of Paris) to be forged between France and Scotland in 1295, referred to as an 'Auld Amitie'. M.A. Pollock gained her PhD from the University of St Andrews. She has since taught at St. Andrews, the University of Edinburgh, Trinity College, Dublin, and University College Dublin.
