@emperorhistorian1: Why did so many people in the Middle Ages convert to Christianity? Well for Vladimir the great of the Kievan Rus the answer was easy. One of the greatest legends and tales from the medieval period. The strength and power of the Roman Empire on display as it battled against other mighty empires for the favour of the powerful and mighty Viking rus warriors #medieval #historytok #religions #crusader #HistoryTime

A lot of medieval kings converted because of their wives. Women have historically been a lot more religious, and conversion was usually part of the marriage agreement (which also doubled as peace treaties/alliances).

Vanilla Gorilla :

One of the big reasons is that Christianity demanded faith. It was a practical religion that didn’t demand you deplete your own resources just to pray to God. God is always there and doesn’t demand that you burn a cow just to talk to him. It’s very appealing.

Broderpappafarbrormorbror :

Christianity ☦️

Nate Date :

its funny how many instances there are of medieval kings converting to Christianity because they married a Christian woman.

k :

The actual reasons monotheistic relgions are so "popular" is that when you are the sole ruler of a country it's serves your purpose to have a single god with you as its chosen rteprsentive snd a single priesthood you can control.
