Medieval Riga with Kevin O'Connor
The Medieval Podcast - Un pódcast de Medievalists.net - Jueves
Across the world, there’s no shortage of contested sites where local identities, national identities, and international politics clash, often with high stakes for the people who live there. One of these places is the storied capital of Latvia: Riga. This week, Danièle speaks with Kevin O’Connor about medieval Riga, its tumultuous place as a trading post between West and East – as well as war between bishops and crusaders – and how its medieval history plays out in today’s politics.You can support this podcast on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/c/medievalists
