2. From Raiders to Rulers: The Danelaw and the Eastern Expansion of the Norse Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age The discussion highlights the transformation of Vikings from raiders—who famously plundered Paris for 7,000 pounds of gold—to military conquerors. The Great Heathen Army arrived in England around 865, conquering East Anglia, Northumbria, and Mercia. The subsequent stalemate led to an agreement between King Alfred and the Norse leader Guthrum toward the end of the ninth century. This accord established the Danelaw, granting the Norse political and legal control over vast swathes of England, evidenced today by Old Norse influences in place names. The Norse cultural sphere was enormous, characterized by a diaspora that spread east and west. People from what is now Sweden moved down Eurasian waterways, becoming known as the Varangians, or Russ (rowers), and settled Novgorod in 862.

3. Kievan Rus Assimilation and the Unsolved Mystery of the Salme Ships Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age In the east, Rurik and his company founded what became Kievan Rus, shifting their power base south from Novgorod (862) to Kiev. Although people of Norse heritage controlled the area initially, they were a minority who mastered cultural assimilation with Slavic groups. Norse names like Ingvar and Helga became Slavicized as Igor and Olga, demonstrating extensive cultural mixing. The text also covers the mystery of the Salme ships in Estonia, recently discovered. These two ship burials, dated around 750 AD and predating Lindisfarne, contained the remains of dozens of high-status individuals from Sweden who died violently, likely on a diplomatic mission. One leader was buried with the king piece of the popular board game Hnefatafl placed in his mouth—an intentional act of storytelling.

 This segment focuses on Vikings as conquerors, noting successful raids like the one on Paris, which yielded 7,000 pounds of gold. Around 865 AD, the Great Heathen Army arrived in England, conquering East Anglia, Northumbria, and Mercia. The resulting stalemate with King Alfred led to the establishment of the Danelaw around 878–880 AD, giving Norse people political and legal control over a vast area of England. Norse settlement is evidenced by Old Norse influences in place names within the Danelaw. Barraclough also discusses the eastern expansion of the Vikings—the Rus (rowers), originating from modern Sweden, who moved down the Volga and Dnieper rivers, establishing settlements like Novgorod in 862 AD.

The conversation continues on the eastern Viking diaspora, noting that the power base of the Rus shifted from Novgorod to Kyiv, forming Kievan Rus. Although early rulers had Norsedescent, they assimilated culturally, blending Scandinavian and Slavic elements; Norse names like Ingvar and Helgabecame Igor and Olga. History is flexible, and competing groups interpret this mixed heritage. A major mystery discussed is the Salme ship burials in Estonia (Saaremaa island), dating around 750 AD, prior to Lindisfarne. The high-status dead, likely Swedish men on a diplomatic mission, died violently but were buried carefully with rich goods, including falcons and a king gaming piece in the mouth of a leader. VIKING AGE SILVER

He lived for many years as a monk at the Monastery of St Cyril of White Lake, where his ascetic struggles won him the respect of his brethren. To flee from the admiration of men he moved further north to Valaam Monastery. But he still attracted the good opinion of his community, so he secretly headed still further north, planning to reach the uninhabited Solovki Island in the White Sea (a large bay of the Arctic Ocean). When he reached the coast, everyone who might take him tried to dissuade him from living in such a harsh place. He answered 'My children, I have a Master who has the power to renew the strength of the old and to enfeeble the young if He so wills. He makes the poor rich, clothes the naked, provides for the destitute and satisfies the starving with a measure of food as he fed five thousand men in the desert.'   While waiting for seasonable sailing weather he met St Germanus (July 30) who lived nearby as a hermit. Together they found a fishing boat and, casting all their trust on the Lord, made the dangerous two-day voyage and set up a hermitage on the island. It became known as a holy place, and thenceforth those living in the world knew not to settle on Solovki, or even to set foot there without good reason. After six years, St Germanus departed, and Sabbatius was left alone.   When he was old, he began to fear that he would die without receiving the life-giving Mysteries, of which he had not partaken since he left Valaam. So he returned to the mainland where he met an abbot Nathanael just as he was taking Holy Communion to a sick man. Sabbatius persuaded the abbot to hear his confession and grant him the priceless gift of Holy Communion. He then settled in a nearby chapel and made ready for his departure from this life. A wealthy merchant from Novgorod visited him to ask for his blessing. The Saint said to him, 'Spend the night here and you will see the grace of God.' The next morning the merchant came to Sabbatius' cell and found that he had reposed during the night; his cell was suffused with a beautiful scent.   The following year, St Germanus, along with St Zosimas (April 17), returned to Solovki island and founded a monastery there, which proved to be the nurturing ground of many Saints.

Historians have floated a half-dozen theories for why Viking Greenland settlements suddenly vanished in the 1300s and 1400s, after nearly 500 years of occupation. Was it climate change, the Black Death, even bad farming habits learned in Scandinavia?But what if…it all came down to walrus ivory? It turns out that walrus tusks during the Viking and Middle Ages fuelled a long-distance trade network that stretched from Inuit hunters far above the Arctic Circle to churches and royalty in cities as far flung as Novgorod, Kyiv and Cologne. Now, using ancient DNA and isotope analysis, archaeologists have shown that virtually all these tusks came from Greenland!And then suddenly, the market collapsed. What happened?Today's show looks at how everything from cutting edge technology to dogged footwork has allowed researchers to piece together the details of the global walrus trade a thousand years back in time. They're also using this window into the past to better understand walruses themselves, to make predictions about the future of walruses in a warming world.My guests on today's show are James Barrett, professor of medieval and environmental archaeology at the NTNU University Museum, and Katrien Dierickx and Erin Kunisch, postdocs with James and the 4-Oceans project.Here's a link to the NTNU University Museum's new exhibit on the walrus tusk trade, Sea Ivories.

We return to the Northeast to cover the succession to Vsevolod Big Nest, the struggle for Novgorod, and the arrival of the Mongols.

Dire que Kiev fut la capitale de la Russie est une affirmation à nuancer. Si Kiev n'a jamais été la capitale de la Russie moderne en tant qu'État, elle a bien été le centre politique et culturel d'un ancêtre de la Russie actuelle : la Rus' de Kiev.Kiev, berceau de la Rus' de KievAu IXe siècle, un peuple scandinave, les Varègues, s'installe dans les territoires slaves de l'Est et fonde un État connu sous le nom de Rus' de Kiev. Son premier dirigeant notable, Oleg, s'empare de Kiev en 882 et en fait sa capitale, remplaçant Novgorod. Cet événement marque le début de l'âge d'or de la cité.Sous le règne de Vladimir Ier (980-1015), Kiev devient le centre du premier État slave chrétien, adoptant l'orthodoxie en 988. Son fils, Iaroslav le Sage (1019-1054), renforce encore son importance en développant son administration et sa culture, faisant de Kiev une des plus grandes villes d'Europe de l'Est.Le déclin de Kiev et l'émergence de MoscouMais cette suprématie ne dure pas. À partir du XIIe siècle, la Rus' de Kiev se fragmente en plusieurs principautés indépendantes. En 1240, la ville est ravagée par les Mongols, marquant la fin de son rôle central.Pendant ce temps, une autre principauté, Moscou, commence à émerger comme puissance dominante. Sous Ivan III (1462-1505), Moscou unifie progressivement les terres russes et se positionne comme héritière de la tradition de Kiev. En 1547, Ivan IV (le Terrible) prend le titre de tsar de Russie, affirmant la centralité de Moscou dans le nouvel État russe.Kiev et la Russie moderneAprès des siècles sous domination polonaise et lituanienne, Kiev est intégrée à l'Empire russe en 1667. Elle devient une ville majeure mais jamais une capitale, ce rôle revenant d'abord à Moscou, puis à Saint-Pétersbourg sous Pierre le Grand.Conclusion : une capitale historique mais pas moderneSi Kiev fut bien la première capitale d'un État slave oriental, la Rus' de Kiev, elle n'a jamais été la capitale de la Russie moderne. Elle reste néanmoins un lieu fondateur de l'identité russe, ukrainienne et biélorusse, ce qui explique encore aujourd'hui son importance dans l'histoire et les tensions géopolitiques actuelles.

Ivan le Terrible, premier tsar de Russie, incarne une figure à la fois fascinante et effrayante de l'histoire. Couronné en 1547 à seulement 16 ans, il proclame Moscou « troisième Rome » et jette les bases de l'Empire russe. Marqué par une enfance tragique, Ivan développe une cruauté sans limites. Réformateur éclairé, il modernise les lois, l'armée et l'administration tout en conduisant des campagnes militaires décisives, comme la prise de Kazan. Cependant, la mort de sa femme Anastasia en 1560 a déclenché une paranoïa destructrice. Créant l'oprichnina, il s'appuie sur des milices brutales pour éliminer ses opposants, plongeant le pays dans la terreur. Sa folie atteint son apogée avec le massacre de Novgorod et l'infanticide de son fils en 1581. Rongé par la culpabilité, il finit ses jours dans une profonde repentance, alternant entre piété mystique et souvenirs de ses atrocités. Ivan laisse un empire unifié mais marqué par la violence.

Saint Tryphon was the son of a priest from Novgorod. The Synaxarion records that, at the moment of his birth, the verse Blessed is the life of those who dwell in the desert was being sung in the Matins service. In 1525 he was moved by a divine revelation to flee to the far north of Russia and live as a hermit. He settled near the River Kola, where he devoted his nights to prayer, his days to proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to the native peoples there. The pagans were hostile at first, but his patience and humility won them over, and he baptized many. He built them a church with his own hands on the shores of Lake Ladoga, and later founded a monastery there. Saint Tryphon reposed in 1583. He predicted his own death and the coming destruction of the Monastery by the Swedes, which came to pass in 1590. All the monks were massacred. The first victim, Starets Jonah, worked many miracles at the Monastery after its restoration.

Hansan var en tydlig aktör i svensk inrikespolitik under Engelbrektsupproret på 1430-talet och Sten Sture den äldres kamp mot Kalmarunionen i slutet av 1400-talet. Men med tiden skulle konkurrensen från framväxande nationalstater som Sverige och Danmark, och senare även England och Nederländerna, underminerade Hansans dominans i Östersjön och Nordsjön. Dessutom resulterade upptäckten av Amerika i nya handelsvägar. Hansan hade också svårt att ta till sig till nya kreditformer.I detta andra av två avsnitt om Hansan samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet. Han är aktuell med boken Hansan – Ett handelsimperiums uppgång och fall.Hansan hade sitt ursprung i Tyskland, närmare bestämt i områdena kring floderna Rhen, Weser och Elbe. Till en början bestod den av flera enskilda intresseorganisationer för olika grupper av köpmän. Dessa organisationer erbjöd varandra skydd längs farofyllda transportvägar och stödde varandras handel. Hansans framgång byggde på ett system av privilegier och handelsmonopol som sträckte sig från London till Novgorod, med Visby som en viktig knutpunkt i Östersjön. Under 1100- och 1200-talen utvecklades Hansan till att bli Nordeuropas ledande politiska och ekonomiska maktcentrum.Under 1400-talet ökade konkurrensen från England och Nederländerna. I det holländsk-hanseatiska kriget (1438-1441) sökte och vann till slut Amsterdams köpmän fri tillgång till Östersjön. När Flandern och Holland blev en del av hertigdömet Burgund uteslöt burgundiska och preussiska städer i allt högre grad Lübeck från sin spannmålshandel under 1400- och 1500-talet.Utvecklingen av transatlantisk handel efter upptäckten av Amerika orsakade nedgång för de återstående kontoren, särskilt i Brygge, eftersom handeln centrerades kring andra hamnar. Detta ledde till en förskjutning av handelns tyngdpunkt och minskade Hansans betydelse som mellanhand i den europeiska handeln.Hansan hade svårt att anpassa sig till nya ekonomiska realiteter. När nya kreditformer importerades från Italien var förbundet långsamt med att ta till sig dessa innovationer.Hansans organisationsstruktur visade sig vara alltför stel för att effektivt hantera nya utmaningar. Hansetagen (Hanseatiska riksdagen), som började mötas oregelbundet i Lübeck omkring år 1300 eller möjligen 1356, var inte tillräckligt effektiv för att fatta bindande beslut. Många städer valde att inte delta eller skicka representanter, och beslut var inte bindande för enskilda städer om deras delegater inte inkluderades i protokollen. Denna brist på enhetlighet gjorde det svårt för Hansan att agera beslutsamt i kristider.Territorialstater blev Hansans främsta rivaler. Dessa stater hade ofta mer flexibla och centraliserade maktstrukturer som gjorde det möjligt för dem att reagera snabbare på förändringar i den ekonomiska och politiska miljön. Hansans nedgång förvärrades ytterligare av interna spänningar. Förbundets blotta existens, tillsammans med dess privilegier och monopol, skapade ekonomiska och sociala spänningar som ofta ledde till rivalitet mellan medlemsstäderna. Denna interna splittring försvagade Hansans förmåga att presentera en enad front mot yttre hot och utmaningar.Bild: Hamburgs fartygslag.

Hansan var ett lösligt handelsförbund av köpmannahus och städer, med centrum i Lübeck, som dominerade handel och politik i norra Europa under medeltiden. Utan egentliga fasta institutioner och regler kom Hansan att skapa enorma förmögenheter.Hansan växte fram underifrån utifrån ett behov att skapa trygghet för handelsmän. Hansan prioriterade nätverkstänkande och samarbete framför viljan att styra, ställa och diktera villkor för medlemmarna - ett vinnande koncept under medeltiden, men på 1500- och 1600-talen blev utmaningarna från omvärlden till slut för stora.I detta första av två avsnitt om Hansan samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet. Han är aktuell med boken Hansan – Ett handelsimperiums uppgång och fall.Hansan hade sitt ursprung i Tyskland, närmare bestämt i områdena kring floderna Rhen, Weser och Elbe. Till en början bestod den av flera enskilda intresseorganisationer för olika grupper av köpmän. Dessa organisationer erbjöd varandra skydd längs farofyllda transportvägar och stödde varandras handel. Hansans framgång byggde på ett system av privilegier och handelsmonopol som sträckte sig från London till Novgorod, med Visby som en viktig knutpunkt i Östersjön. Under 1100- och 1200-talen utvecklades Hansan till att bli Nordeuropas ledande politiska och ekonomiska maktcentrum.År 1161 slöt Norge ett handelsavtal med Lübeck, vilket markerade början på Hansans expansion i Norden. Birger jarl följde efter genom att ingå överenskommelser med Lübeck omkring 1250 och med Hamburg 1261. Dessa avtal gav tyska affärsmän möjlighet att verka i Sverige på gynnsamma villkor, bland annat genom befrielse från skatter och tullar.Hansan drog också nytta av Tyska ordens expansion i Baltikum under början av 1200-talet och knöt till sig vitryska och litauiska områden i sitt handelsnät. År 1227 slöt man handelsavtal med fursten av Smolensk. Vid mitten av 1200-talet fanns ett dussintal städer med lybsk rätt i Östersjöområdet, däribland Reval, Wismar, Rostock, Stralsund, Greifswald, Kolberg, Danzig och Elbing.Till Bergen seglade nordtyska fartyg lastade med korn, öl, vin och salt. På tillbakavägen fraktade de torkad fisk, en eftertraktad vara i Europa. Denna handel genererade stora vinster för Hansan och gynnade även norrmännen, vars fisk nådde europeiska marknader.Hansan inrättade kontor i städer som inte var anslutna till förbundet men som ändå var viktiga för dess handel. Inom kontorets område gällde Hansans lagar. Det äldsta kontoret, Petershof, inrättades i Novgorod 1259. Londonkontoret, The Steelyard, växte fram under 1200-talet. Kontoret i Brygge inrättades 1347 och omkring 1360 etablerades kontoret i Bergen, där Hansan lyckades konkurrera ut så gott som alla andra utländska handelsmän och helt kontrollera den norska exporten och importen.Trots att Hansan saknade en gemensam armé eller flotta hade förbundet förmågan att mobilisera militära resurser när det behövdes. Konflikter med omvärlden föregicks ofta av långvariga debatter mellan borgmästare och rådmän från olika hansestäder, vilket speglar förbundets lösa struktur. Hansans militära styrka var dock begränsad jämfört med framväxande territorialstater. Från 1400-talet och framåt minskade hansestädernas möjligheter att försvara sin självständighet militärt, då krig blev allt dyrare att föra.Bild: Lübeck som illustreras i Nürnbergkrönikan, 1493 Michel Wolgemut, Wilhelm Pleydenwurff (Hartmann Schedel, redaktör) – Illustration från Nürnbergkrönikan, Wikipedia, Public Domain.Musik: Medieval Harp Kingdom Instrumental av OKO, Storyblock AudioKlippare: Emanuel Lehtonen Vill du stödja podden och samtidigt höra ännu mer av Historia Nu?

A frozen Lake Peipus played host to a dramatic fight between 2,000 Catholic Crusaders and 6,000 Orthodox Christians on 5th April, 1242. The invading forces were the Teutonic Knights, armed with spears and swords to ‘Christianize' what they saw as a Pagan society. Novgorod's defender, Prince Alexander Nevsky, lured the Germans to the lake, where his troops could take them down one by one, in a battle that went down in Russian lore.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how much of the imagery of the battle was in fact crystallised by a controversial twentieth-century filmmaker; consider why the Knights were so unprepared for this particular confrontation; and ask what actual theological differences separated the warring factions…  Further Reading: • ‘Lake Peipus: Battle on the Ice' (Warfare History Network, 2005): https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/lake-peipus-battle-on-the-ice/ • ‘Alexander Nevsky - Prince of Novgorod and Kiev': https://www.thoughtco.com/alexander-nevsky-profile-p2-1788255 • ‘Alexander Nevsky' (Sergei Eisenstein, 1938): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq4PaJfod4w We'll be back on Monday - unless you join

Le tsar Ivan IV, qui règne de 1547 à 1587, traîne après lui une sinistre réputation, qui lui a valu le surnom de "Terrible".Il est d'ailleurs le dernier grand-prince de Moscou, une principauté née de la "Rus", cette première entité territoriale née autour de la ville de Kiev. Il est aussi le premier, du fait de ses annexions de territoires notamment, à porter le titre de "Tsar de toutes les Russies".Son règne avait pourtant bien commencé. En effet, il réforme le clergé, fait paraître un nouveau code de lois et promet de protéger le peuple. Il commence aussi à moderniser un pays encore très archaïque.Traumatisé par une enfance difficile, où l'orphelin qu'il était fut maltraité par ses tuteurs, et persuadé que tous se liguent pour l'assassiner, Ivan montre bientôt son véritable visage.Obsédé en permanence par la peur du complot, le Tsar se livre aux pires cruautés, notamment sur les boyards, des nobles qu'il soupçonne de vouloir le trahir. Il en fait ainsi déporter et tuer des centaines. Il s'en prend aussi à leurs familles, dont il fait souvent exécuter tous les membres.Ivan le Terrible ordonne même des exécutions de masse. En 1570, il fait ainsi tuer toute la population de Novgorod, qu'il accuse de trahison au profit de la Pologne.Pour assouvir ses vengeances, le Tsar peut compter sur les "opritchniks", une milice composée de fidèles qui lui sont dévoués corps et âme. Il s'assure d'ailleurs de leur loyauté en donnant à ses sbires les terres des boyards, qu'il confisque sans vergogne.Si Ivan IV est passé à la postérité comme un homme assoiffé de sang, c'est aussi en raison de la folie meurtrière qui semblait l'habiter. Elle lui inspirait en effet, dans les châtiments qu'il infligeait à ses opposants, un raffinement de cruauté inouï.Entre autres supplices, il les plonge dans des chaudrons d'eau bouillante, les fait griller comme des rôtis à la broche ou les expose, dans des arènes dont ils ne peuvent s'échapper, à la dent d'ours affamés.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Hanseatic League or Hansa which dominated North European trade in the medieval period. With a trading network that stretched from Iceland to Novgorod via London and Bruges, these German-speaking Hansa merchants benefitted from tax exemptions and monopolies. Over time, the Hansa became immensely influential as rulers felt the need to treat it well. Kings and princes sometimes relied on loans from the Hansa to finance their wars and an embargo by the Hansa could lead to famine. Eventually, though, the Hansa went into decline with the rise in the nation state's power, greater competition from other merchants and the development of trade across the Atlantic.

Sur quels espaces l'État russe revendique-t-il, depuis ses origines, la légitimité de gouvernement ? Si la construction et l'affirmation de l'identité d'un pays font rarement l'économie de la guerre, peut-on affirmer que la Russie est par nature plus belliciste que ses voisins ? Combat-on de la même manière en Russie et en Europe ? L'Église orthodoxe est-elle un relai de l'expansionnisme ? Les guerres de l'Empire soviétique obéissent-elles aux mêmes logiques géopolitiques que celles des tsars ?

This week we look at the activities of the Teutonic order in Livonia during the 13th century. The situation in Livonia was profoundly different to Prussia and posed a number of new challenges for the brothers. In Livonia there were the powerful bishops of Riga to contend with who had led the crusade there since its inception in the 1180s. The Hanse merchants who have settled in Riga, Reval and Dorpat are no pushovers. Like in Prussia, the Lithuanians are a formidable force able to inflict painful defeats on the brothers as are some of the Baltic peoples who didn't enjoy conversion at swordpoint as much as the planners back in Bremen, Marburg and Acre had hoped. And let's not forget some new neighbors, the Danes in Northern Estonia and the great republic of Novgorod.In 1240 a great effort gets under way to forcibly convert the orthodox Rus'ian states, including Novgorod that are already under pressure from the Mongols. In their distress the boyars of Novgorod make the second son of the grand duke of Vladimir becomes their military leader, a man we know as Alexander Nevsky. On April 5, 1242 Alexander Nevsky and his men stand on the shore of Lake Peipus staring at a squadron of heavily armored cavalry thundering across the ice towards them…Whilst the riders almost certainly weren't accompanied by Prokofief's amazing soundtrack, they may have brought an organ, but that, like everything else about the Battle on the Ice is subject to intense debate, a debate we will examine in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comFacebook: @HOTGPod Twitter: @germanshistoryInstagram: history_of_the_germansReddit: u/historyofthegermansPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/Historyofthegermans

Saint Tryphon was the son of a priest from Novgorod. The Synaxarion records that, at the moment of his birth, the verse Blessed is the life of those who dwell in the desert was being sung in the Matins service. In 1525 he was moved by a divine revelation to flee to the far north of Russia and live as a hermit. He settled near the River Kola, where he devoted his nights to prayer, his days to proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to the native peoples there. The pagans were hostile at first, but his patience and humility won them over, and he baptized many. He built them a church with his own hands on the shores of Lake Ladoga, and later founded a monastery there. Saint Tryphon reposed in 1583. He predicted his own death and the coming destruction of the Monastery by the Swedes, which came to pass in 1590. All the monks were massacred. The first victim, Starets Jonah, worked many miracles at the Monastery after its restoration.

The first victim, Starets Jonah, worked many miracles at the Monastery after its restoration.

He lived for many years as a monk at the Monastery of St Cyril of White Lake, where his ascetic struggles won him the respect of his brethren. To flee from the admiration of men he moved further north to Valaam Monastery. But he still attracted the good opinion of his community, so he secretly headed still further north, planning to reach the uninhabited Solovki Island in the White Sea (a large bay of the Arctic Ocean). When he reached the coast, everyone who might take him tried to dissuade him from living in such a harsh place. He answered 'My children, I have a Master who has the power to renew the strength of the old and to enfeeble the young if He so wills. He makes the poor rich, clothes the naked, provides for the destitute and satisfies the starving with a measure of food as he fed five thousand men in the desert.'   While waiting for seasonable sailing weather he met St Germanus (July 30) who lived nearby as a hermit. Together they found a fishing boat and, casting all their trust on the Lord, made the dangerous two-day voyage and set up a hermitage on the island. It became known as a holy place, and thenceforth those living in the world knew not to settle on Solovki, or even to set foot there without good reason. After six years, St Germanus departed, and Sabbatius was left alone.   When he was old, he began to fear that he would die without receiving the life-giving Mysteries, of which he had not partaken since he left Valaam. So he returned to the mainland where he met an abbot Nathanael just as he was taking Holy Communion to a sick man. Sabbatius persuaded the abbot to hear his confession and grant him the priceless gift of Holy Communion. He then settled in a nearby chapel and made ready for his departure from this life. A wealthy merchant from Novgorod visited him to ask for his blessing. The Saint said to him, 'Spend the night here and you will see the grace of God.' The next morning the merchant came to Sabbatius' cell and found that he had reposed during the night; his cell was suffused with a beautiful scent.   The following year, St Germanus, along with St Zosimas (April 17), returned to Solovki island and founded a monastery there, which proved to be the nurturing ground of many Saints.

Iván IV, conocido como Iván el Terrible, fue uno de los gobernantes más controvertidos y notorios de la historia rusa. Su vida estuvo marcada por éxitos militares, una administración centralizada, y un reinado caracterizado por la brutalidad y la represión. A continuación, se presenta una biografía que detalla los principales eventos y aspectos de su vida: Nacimiento y Primeros Años (1530-1547): Iván IV nació el 25 de agosto de 1530 en Kolómenskoye, cerca de Moscú. Fue el hijo de Vasili III y Elena Glínskaya. Tras la muerte de su padre, Iván fue proclamado zar a la edad de tres años en 1533, aunque el poder real estaba en manos de regentes y boyardos debido a su juventud. Ascenso al Trono (1547): Iván IV fue coronado zar de Rusia el 16 de enero de 1547 a la edad de 16 años. Esta coronación marcó el comienzo de su reinado personal, y adoptó el título de "Zar de Todas las Rusias". Durante este período temprano de su gobierno, Iván IV introdujo reformas administrativas y legales, sentando las bases para un estado centralizado. Campañas Militares y Conquistas: Uno de los logros más notables de Iván IV fue la conquista de Kazán en 1552, seguida por la toma de Astracán en 1556. Estas victorias expandieron significativamente el territorio ruso hacia el este. También lanzó campañas militares en el norte del Cáucaso y contra el Khanato de Crimea. La Opríchnina (1565-1572): En 1565, Iván IV estableció la Opríchnina, una institución que ejercía un control brutal y absoluto sobre una parte del territorio ruso. Durante esta época, se llevaron a cabo ejecuciones masivas, confiscaciones de propiedades y purgas políticas en un período de represión y terror. Conflictos y Paranoia: A medida que avanzaba su reinado, Iván IV se volvió cada vez más paranoico y desconfiado. Sus relaciones con la nobleza boyarda y otros grupos de élite se deterioraron, lo que resultó en conflictos internos y ejecuciones masivas. La Masacre de Novgorod (1570): Uno de los episodios más oscuros de su reinado fue la Masacre de Novgorod en 1570, en la que miles de personas fueron asesinadas en la ciudad de Novgorod debido a sospechas infundadas de conspiración. Enfermedad y Muerte (1584): Iván IV murió el 28 de marzo de 1584 a los 53 años debido a una hemorragia cerebral. Su muerte marcó el fin de un reinado turbulento y brutal. El legado de Iván IV es complejo y sigue siendo objeto de debate. A pesar de sus éxitos militares y contribuciones a la centralización de Rusia, su reinado está marcado por la violencia y la represión, y se le recuerda como un gobernante infame en la historia rusa. Su legado ha dejado una huella profunda en la historia de Rusia y en la memoria colectiva del país. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM, para que lo disfrutes https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Antonio Cruz Edita ANTENA HISTORIA Antena Historia (podcast) forma parte del sello iVoox Originals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- web……….https://antenahistoria.com/ correo.....info@antenahistoria.com Facebook…..Antena Historia Podcast | Facebook Twitter…...https://twitter.com/AntenaHistoria Telegram…...https://t.me/foroantenahistoria DONACIONES PAYPAL...... https://paypal.me/ancrume ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¿QUIERES ANUNCIARTE en ANTENA HISTORIA?, menciones, cuñas publicitarias, programas personalizados, etc. Dirígete a Antena Historia - AdVoices Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

The Hanseatic League undergoes a fundamental transformation in the second half of the 14th century. It turned from a guild of merchants trading across the Baltic and the North Sea into an alliance of trading cities. An alliance that has proven that it can fight and win wars against major territorial powers. That sits quite uncomfortably with the existing European rulers who wonder what to do with this alien inside their body politic.The Hanse had acquired a wide range of trading privileges in their main Kontors in England, Flanders, Norway and the Republic of Novgorod. These privileges did not only disadvantage the locals who were unsurprisingly hostile but also challenged the authority of the princes. That was just about bearable as long as this was just a community of grubby merchants from the Empire. Now that these merchants had built formidable cities, commanded great navies and toppled kings, it became an entirely different ballgame.Furthermore, the legitimacy of the Hansa was fragile. The Hanseatic Cities, apart from Lübeck and Dortmund weren't free imperial cities, making them at least formally subject to their territorial lords. As such they could not form an actual league of cities as the Northern Italian republics had done a hundred years earlier. Nor were they allowed to conduct foreign policy against their territorial lord, though they sometimes did. These fault lines will become ever more apparent as we go forward with our history. This week we will get a first glimpse at what will lead to the ultimate demise of the League as we get into the year 1388, a year when the cities face off against three of the most powerful political entities in Northern Europe, the kingdom of England, the county of Flanders and the Republic of Novgorod.

Today we will talk about the Bryggen, the famous Hanseatic Kontor or trading post in Bergen in western Norway. Bergen itself was never a member of the Hanseatic League, but like The St. Peter's yard in Novgorod, the steelyard in London and the Kontor of Bruges, the Bryggen in Bergen was a key element of the Hanseatic trading network.The trade in stockfish from Bergen was never on the same scale as the herring trade off Scania or the trade in beeswax and furs from Novgorod, but it was an important springboard for members of the lower classes to join the long-distance merchants. And the way the Hanse was able to gain a stranglehold over the proud Vikings of Norway is a cautionary tale of failed macro-economic policies. If you think the Norwegians are unique in falling prey to aggressive Hanseatic trade policies, think again. Even the mighty Bruges, the warehouse of the medieval world” was made to grant these merchants from the Holy Roman empire far reaching privileges.Some have considered these events as the beginnings of a long process of specialisation in Europe that condemned the East to become the giant breadbasket that fed the industrialising West. I doubt things are that simple, but let's have a look at the different arguments….The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comFacebook: @HOTGPod Twitter: @germanshistoryInstagram: history_of_the_germansReddit: u/historyofthegermansPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/HistoryofthegermansFor this episode I again reliedheavily on:Justyna Wubs-Mrozewicz: (3)Rules of Inclusion, Rules of Exclusion: The Hanseatic Kontor in Bergen in theLate Middle Ages and its Normative Boundaries | arvids alvea - Academia.eduCarsten Mueller Boysen: Die Deutsche Bruecke in Bergen in Die Hanse,Lebenswirklichkeit und Mythos, herausgegeben von Jürgen Bracker, Volker Hennand Rainer PostelPhilippe Dollinger: Die Hanse Rolf Hammel-Kieslow: Die Hanse

I doubt things are that simple, but let's have a look at the different arguments….The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comFacebook: @HOTGPod Twitter: @germanshistoryInstagram: history_of_the_germansReddit: u/historyofthegermansPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/Historyofthegermans

A history of the Hanseatic League normally begins with the story of the foundation, destruction and refoundation of Lübeck. This series will not do that. For once, we already had a whole episode of the Foundation of Lübeck. If you want to check it out, look for episode 105 of the History of the Germans Podcast. But more importantly, the foundation of Lübeck, is still just the foundation of a city. Do not get me wrong, Lübeck is a stunning city and its Rathaus and the magnificent churches, including the astounding Marienkirche tell us about the wealth and the civic pride of its inhabitants. But then, Burges is an even more astounding merchant city, as are Antwerp, Amsterdam, not to speak of Florence or Venice. What I mean is that if Lübeck, Bremen, Hamburg, Gdansk and Riga had just been successful trading cities in the Middle Ages, the cities of Bergen, Novgorod and King's Lynn would not still remind everyone of their old business relationship.It isn't the size and beauty of its cities that that makes the Hanseatic League special, it is the way they co-operated. And that does not begin with the foundation of Lübeck, but with something that happened shortly after the foundation of Lübeck, in 1161.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by https://www.windrep.org/Michel_Rondeau (Michel Rondeau) As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comFacebook: @HOTGPodTwitter: @germanshistoryInstagram: history_of_the_germansReddit: u/historyofthegermansPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/Historyofthegermans

Of course the first episode back after a Swedish Christmas has to include a healthy dose of herring! We round off the 1300s with a quick tale about Novgorod and more developments on Gotland, before diving into the great herring markets of Skåne to start off the new century. The 1400s was a time of great trade in Skåne and herring was of vital importance to the entire Kalmar Union. What happened if you tried to salt your own fish or carried your herring around in a bag?

Saint Tryphon was the son of a priest from Novgorod. The Synaxarion records that, at the moment of his birth, the verse Blessed is the life of those who dwell in the desert was being sung in the Matins service. In 1525 he was moved by a divine revelation to flee to the far north of Russia and live as a hermit. He settled near the River Kola, where he devoted his nights to prayer, his days to proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to the native peoples there. The pagans were hostile at first, but his patience and humility won them over, and he baptized many. He built them a church with his own hands on the shores of Lake Ladoga, and later founded a monastery there. Saint Tryphon reposed in 1583. He predicted his own death and the coming destruction of the Monastery by the Swedes, which came to pass in 1590. All the monks were massacred. The first victim, Starets Jonah, worked many miracles at the Monastery after its restoration.

He lived for many years as a monk at the Monastery of St Cyril of White Lake, where his ascetic struggles won him the respect of his brethren. To flee from the admiration of men he moved further north to Valaam Monastery. But he still attracted the good opinion of his community, so he secretly headed still further north, planning to reach the uninhabited Solovki Island in the White Sea (a large bay of the Arctic Ocean). When he reached the coast, everyone who might take him tried to dissuade him from living in such a harsh place. He answered 'My children, I have a Master who has the power to renew the strength of the old and to enfeeble the young if He so wills. He makes the poor rich, clothes the naked, provides for the destitute and satisfies the starving with a measure of food as he fed five thousand men in the desert.'   While waiting for seasonable sailing weather he met St Germanus (July 30) who lived nearby as a hermit. Together they found a fishing boat and, casting all their trust on the Lord, made the dangerous two-day voyage and set up a hermitage on the island. It became known as a holy place, and thenceforth those living in the world knew not to settle on Solovki, or even to set foot there without good reason. After six years, St Germanus departed, and Sabbatius was left alone.   When he was old, he began to fear that he would die without receiving the life-giving Mysteries, of which he had not partaken since he left Valaam. So he returned to the mainland where he met an abbot Nathanael just as he was taking Holy Communion to a sick man. Sabbatius persuaded the abbot to hear his confession and grant him the priceless gift of Holy Communion. He then settled in a nearby chapel and made ready for his departure from this life. A wealthy merchant from Novgorod visited him to ask for his blessing. The Saint said to him, 'Spend the night here and you will see the grace of God.' The next morning the merchant came to Sabbatius' cell and found that he had reposed during the night; his cell was suffused with a beautiful scent.   The following year, St Germanus, along with St Zosimas (April 17), returned to Solovki island and founded a monastery there, which proved to be the nurturing ground of many Saints.
