Summary

The history of monasticism in the core areas of east-central Europe, cannot be properly considered without adopting a broader historiographical approach to this part of the continent. The medieval kingdoms and duchies that are the precursors of the modern political entities of Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary do not reflect their medieval territories. Medieval Hungary also included Slovakia, Transylvania, Vojvodina, eastern Slavonia, and, from the early twelfth century, the kingdom of Croatia under the personal union of Arpad kings. Early medieval Polish territory included Greater and Lesser Poland, Mazovia, Lower Silesia, and, from the mid-twelfth century, some overlordship over parts of Pomerania. The territory of early medieval Bohemia also included Moravia.
