Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the intricate history of medieval Riga, a metropolis established by the German bishop Albert in the 13th century at the mouth of the Daugava River. Located in present-day Latvia, the city quickly flourished as a powerful trade hub and center of the Hanseatic League during the Middle Ages. This book examines the many ways in which the bishop and the Teutonic Order clashed over supremacy while Riga grew, as well as how merchants and craftsmen from across the Holy Roman Empire flocked to the city to settle and do business. The author traces Riga's development from its humble beginnings as a small trading outpost to its eventual status as one of the most important cities on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea.
