  • Description

    Summaries in English at the back of the volume. This time, the continuation of the urban history focuses on the estates. In medieval and early modern Europe, estate was usually understood as a legal status determined by birth. However, real life was always much more varied and open to social mobility. What qualities were considered important for a 13th-century city dweller? How did the nobility and citizens interact? How did the new clergy take shape after the Reformation? Who were the children who came under the care of Tallinn's social welfare system in the 18th–19th centuries? The estate system of 19th-century Tallinn is helped by the analysis of students born in Tallinn and the 1834 census.
