The medieval world is filled with sunlight through stained glass. Jeweled golden reliquaries sparkle before the passing troops. People of different religions and beliefs coexist, fight and trade with each other. Here the best sailors are the Vikings, and silk, spices, incense, precious metals, fur, weapons and enslaved people are at a special price on the world market. The geography of the Middle Ages is vast. While the population deep in the north is busy burning their rulers killed 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 the 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, will walk along with caravans along endless plains and deep rivers and, finally, make his own value judgment about the almost thousand-year-old legendary era.
