Oxford History of Poland-Lithuania: A Round-table Discussion
The Lithuanian Embassy and UCL SSEES welcome you to a round-table discussion to mark the publication of Oxford History of Poland-Lithuania: The Making of the Polish-Lithuanian Union, 1385–1569 by Professor Robert Frost.
Discussants:
Professor John Robertson (University of Cambridge)
Professor Richard Butterwick-Pawlikowski (UCL SSEES)
Professor Darius Baronas (Vilnius University and Lithuanian Institute of History)
Chaired by Dr Giedre Mickunaite (Jagiellonian Project Research Associate, University of Oxford)
This event marks the first full account in English of the making of one of the longest-lasting political unions in European history within a comparative framework. Robert Frost will begin with a brief introduction to the book, outlining why he wrote it, and the main ideas behind it. He will argue that the Polish-Lithuanian union reveals much about the nature of composite states in early modern Europe, and will explore what the story might contribute to the study of political unions in general.
