Description

Discover the history of the North Caucasian Kingdom of Alania through this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press. As the most powerful polity in the medieval North Caucasus, Alania held control over strategic mountain passes and managed urban centers that were larger than those found in contemporary Rus'. This volume is the first book in the English language to explore this specific subject. It examines the era from 850 to 1240, detailing how Alanian kings maintained power from the mid-ninth to the late eleventh centuries. The text covers their complex relationships with the ruling families of Georgia and Byzantium, as well as their military influence across the South Caucasus. Part of the Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought series, this book provides a deep look into how Alanian leadership embodied the concept of the power of the foreign. It is an essential resource for readers interested in medieval European history and the development of the Caucasus region.
