ELITES promo videos!
Six videos on ELITES project were published as a result of our cooperation with the Museum of the Origins of the Polish State in Gniezno.
From 18th June to 5th July six promotional videos were published. In each video our team members cover different aspects of the project:
1: Hans Jacob Orning, “State formation in Poland and Norway in the Middle Ages”
2: Wojtek Jezierski, “Symbolic power and legitimization of the elites on the periphery”
3: Marcin R. Pauk, “Piast dynasty and the political culture: a new perspective”
4: Jón Viðar Sigurðsson, “Friendship and networks of medieval elites”
5: Krzysztof Skwierczyński, “Church elites – a special kind of medieval elites?”
6: Grzegorz Pac, “Religion and the legitimization of medieval elites’ power”
The final accent of the show was a Q&A session on medieval elites, with Grzegorz Pac, Wojtek Jezierski and Michał Bogacki.
The videos were made by the Museum of the Origins of the Polish State. They’re now available on the YouTube channel of the Museum and of the Faculty of History (University of Warsaw).
