The transformation of Saints George, Demetrios, Theodore and others into the patrons of imperial armies was one of the defining developments of religious life under the Macedonian emperors. This book provides a comprehensive study of military sainthood and its roots in late antiquity. The emergence of the cults is situated within a broader social context, in which mortal soldiers were equated with martyrs and martyrs of the early Church recruited to protect them on the battlefield. Dr White then traces the fate of these saints in early Rus, drawing on unpublished manuscripts and other under-utilised sources to discuss their veneration within the princely clan and their influence on the first native saints of Rus, Boris and Gleb, who eventually joined the ranks of their ancient counterparts"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000888018 61010 $$aByzantine Empire.$$bStratos. 000888018 650_0 $$aChristian patron saints$$xCult$$zByzantine Empire. 000888018 650_0 $$aChristian martyrs$$xCult$$zByzantine Empire. 000888018 650_0 $$aWar$$xReligious aspects$$xChristianity$$xHistory of doctrines$$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500. 000888018 651_0 $$aByzantine Empire$$xHistory, Military$$y1081-1453. 000888018 651_0 $$aByzantine Empire$$xChurch history. 000888018 852__ $$bebk 000888018 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1113022$$zOnline Access 000888018 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:888018$$pGLOBAL_SET 000888018 980__ $$aEBOOK 000888018 980__ $$aBIB 000888018 982__ $$aEbook 000888018 983__ $$aOnline
