The aim of this first volume in the series "The Expansion of Latin Europe" is to sketch the outlines of medieval expansion, illustrating some of the major topics that historians have examined in the course of demonstrating the links between medieval and modern experiences.

Later colonizers subsequently adapted the medieval experience to suit their new frontiers in the New World.
