The popes and the Baltic crusades, 1147-1254

Highlighting the interplay between canon law, missionary ideas and politics, this work shows how papal policy on the campaigns against the pagan people of north-eastern Europe developed from Pope Eugenius III's proclamation of a crusade against the Slavs in 1147 to the end of Innocent IV's pontificate in 1254
