This collective volume takes up the subject of ethnicity in Prussia between the 13th and 16th centuries and shows several other aspects of this phenomenon in a region on the outskirts of late medieval Europe. Lithuanians arriving from the east, Poles migrating from the south and Curonians living in the north-eastern peripheries come to light, but the volume also analyseS issues of interethnic relations, both in the so-called ‘period of conquest’ (13th century) and at the turn of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period (15th/16th centuries). Also, the issue of linguistic differentiation among the predominantly German-speaking brothers of the Teutonic Order, previously unnoticed in historiography, although difficult to grasp, is presented.
Eight papers offer a new contribution to the subject of multiethnicity in late medieval Prussia. The book is partly the outcome of the panel The Multiculturalism of Prussia in the Late Middle Ages: Ethnic Groups, Elites, Ideas organised in 2022 at the Congress of Polish Medievalists in Katowice, in connection with the implementation of the research project The Historical-Geographical Dictionary of Prussia in the Middle Ages and at the Dawn of the Early Modern Period, vol. 1: Lower Prussia, vol. 2: Ermland, funded by the polish National Programme for the Development of the Humanities (no. 11H160151 84).
