Resumen de Estonian Clergymen and Denmark during the Middle Ages
This article deals with the activities of members of the Estonian clergy in Den-mark during the Middle Ages. Even though Northern Estonia was part of theDanish realm for over 120 years, and the bishopric of Reval remained part of theDanish church province until the Reformation, the subject has hitherto only hasreceived little attention, especially when it comes to other members of the clergythan the bishops. This article thus not only deals with the eight Danish bishopsin Danish Estonia, but also with monks and canons from the Duchy as well asother Livonian clerics who interacted with the Danish church and state. Throughsome well-documented cases, members of the Livonian clergy are shown as hav-ing played a small, but nonetheless important role not only in the ecclesiastical,but also in the political life of the Danish realm.
