Zusammenfassung:Denmark of the twelfth to thirteenth centuries was a place of transitions, and this volume analyzes that period through the lens of the ‹i›Gesta Danorum ‹/i›of Saxo Grammaticus and other sources. The ‹i›Gesta‹/i› defends not only hierocratic conceptions but the Danish hegemonic project in the Baltic - which was grounded in the crusade movements. Such movements are presented through complex language and imagery about a glorious past brought to bear on the projects in the thirteenth century while internal tensions strengthen the monarchic and ecclesiastical institutions
