Croatia and European Lands in the Middle Ages
Croatia and European Lands in the Middle Ages

Summary/Abstract: The early medieval history of the Croats, namely, the Slavs who settled in the area of the former Roman provinces of Dalmatia and Pannonia, is characterised in large measure by their relation to the two centres of great power: the Eastern and the Western Empires. Since the Croats found themselves precisely on the boundary of their political influence, all important processes (settlement, Christianisation, the shaping of political organisations and cultural development) were dependent on relations with Constantinople and Western courts respectively.
