| Abstract | Culturally and socially, East Central Europe was clearly a part of Latin Europe. Clergy and scholars used Latin as the lingua franca and on different social levels, such as higher and lower nobility, scholars, or the urban population, there was a constant exchange of people. With them, their knowledge, skills and all sorts of expertise, resulting in similarities in urban culture as well as the way of life of noble elites migrated. East Central Europe as a distinctive region existed within a specific context, closely linked and strongly influenced by its Germanic, Slavonic, Byzantine, and nomadic neighbours. This session will reflect the political, intellectual and religious influences from these neighbours, especially from the Holy Roman Empire and the Golden Horde. |
