In this work, international experts mark the anniversary of Peter I's visit to England in 1698. They explore British-Russian relations - Peter in England, Russian apprentices, British ships and maritime technology in Peter's navy forest surveys, British views of Russia, Scottish influences - and widen the focus to look at the Baltic question, the motives behind the founding of St Petersburg, and the 1695-6 Azov campaigns. From the glimpse of Russian court life through private letters, protraits of Peter and a description of Catherine I's household to over-views of Peter's reforms and their impact: this volume offers insights into the relationship between Russia and Europe as well as Peter's personality, legacy and relevance for Russia today.

The absence in Medieval Hungary of fief holding and vassalage has often been cited by historians as evidence of Hungary's early "deviation" from European norms. This book argues that Medieval Hungary was, nevertheless, familiar with many institutions characteristic of noble society in Europe. Contents include the origins of the Hungarian nobility and baronage, lordship and clientage, the role of the noble kindred, conditional landholding, the organization of the frontier, the administration of the counties, and the establishment of representative institutions.
