Book Description

This is a study of the economic, social, legal and religious position of three minorities - Jews, Muslims and pagan Turkic nomads - within the medieval Christian kingdom of Hungary. It demonstrates that their status depended not simply on Christian religious tenets, and investigates the complex situation 'at the gate of Christendom'.
