But what happened after the conquest? The contributors to this volume analyse the cultural, societal, economic and technological changes in the Baltic Sea region c. 1200–1350. The chapters focus on innovations and long-term developments which were important in integrating the area into medieval European society more broadly, while also questioning the traditional divide of the Livonian post-crusade society into native victims and foreign victors. The process of multilateral negotiations and adaptions created a synthesis which was not necessarily an outcome of the wars but also a manifestation of universal innovation processes in northern Europe.  Contributors are Arvi Haak, Tõnno Jonuks, Kristjan Kaljusaar, Ivar Leimus, Christian Lübke, Madis Maasing, Mihkel Mäesalu, Anti Selart, Vija Stikāne, and Andres Tvauri.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface   List of Illustrations   Notes on Contributors   1 Life in Livonia: After the Crusades Introduction    Anti Selart    2 Domesticating Europe – Novel Cultural Influences in the Late Iron Age Eastern Baltic    Tõnno Jonuks    3 Exploiting the Conquerors Socio-political Strategies of Estonian Elites During the Crusades and Christianisation, 1200–1300    Kristjan Kaljusaar    4 Livonian Economic Resources, 1200–1350 Redistribution and Expansion    Anti Selart    5 Missed Patronage?
