‘Mind the Steppes!’ Nomads and their Impact on Medieval Europe (c.300-c.1400)

Everyone has heard of Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan, but how much do we really know about them and the societies from which they came? Why did nomadic tribes move westwards along the ‘steppe corridor’ in the medieval period? Using contemporary accounts and archaeological and artistic records, this course will examine the relationship of nomadic tribes with the settled peoples of Medieval Europe and investigate the fascinating world of the Huns, the Magyars, the Petchenegs and the Mongols.
