| Abstract | Medieval Central Europe is a region of dynamic interaction that connected its core kingdoms (Hungary, Bohemia, and Poland) with the shores of the Baltic, Adriatic, and the Black Sea, entangling it, at the same time, with the European West and other medieval cultures. Long-lasting, but frequently reshaped by modern geo-strategic agendas, these interactions were often neglected by historiography and public knowledge, thus prompting the region's stereotypical image as marginal and 'forgotten'. The round table discusses the diversity of the region's entanglements revealed by the recently published Oxford Handbook of Medieval Central Europe, aiming at prompting further interdisciplinary collaborative debate about this region and its role in the global medieval world. Participants include Marie-Madeleine de Cevins (Université Rennes 2), Emilia Jamroziak (University of Leeds), Gerhard Jaritz (Central European University, Budapest/Wien), Gábor Klaniczay (Central European University, Budapest/Wien), Micheala Antonín Malaníková (Palacký University, Olomouc), and Beata Możejko (Uniwersytet Gdański). |
