Show Notes
How much of the medieval politics we watch on television is fantasy? Historian Maria Golubeva offers a revisionist look at the world of medieval politics, where institutions like religion held more sway than a charismatic leader. This talk was filmed at TEDxRiga. All TEDx events are organized independently by volunteers in the spirit of TED's mission of ideas worth spreading.
