The period of the Middle Ages and early Modern times in the Baltic is a period of endless struggle for dominance over this region. The Baltic Sea became both a crossroads of trade routes and the scene of numerous battles between the peoples inhabiting its coastline.
For centuries, military conflicts and peaceful coexistence of peoples, alternating with each other, have shaped the Baltic Sea region. Kings and princes, merchants and pirates fought for the right to become the rulers of the Baltic, and they succeeded. All of them contributed to the development of such a unique region as the Baltic and created its peculiar history of war at sea. This book is addressed to a wide range of readers interested in the history of naval battles, international relations in the Baltic, and the problems of piracy and maritime robbery in the Middle Ages and early modern times.
