The medieval world is filled with sunlight through stained glass. Jeweled gold reliquaries sparkle in front of passing troops. People of different religions and beliefs coexist, fight and trade with each other. Here the best sailors are Vikings, and on the world market in a special price silk, spices, incense, precious metals, fur, weapons and enslaved people. The geography of the Middle Ages is extensive. At a time when, deep in the north, the population is busy burning their rulers who died in battle along with their still living slaves in a bright flame in the middle of a wide lake, music and fine art are born on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, drowning in the fragrance of flowering herbs. The reader will visit and look into all corners of the Light Middle Ages - from Ravenna surrounded by greenery to the cold shores of Alaska, walk along caravans along endless plains and full-flowing rivers and, finally, make his own value judgment about the almost thousand-year-old legendary era.
