After the tumultuous events of 1018 – ousting Prince Mstivoj or Mestwin (Polish: Mściwoj) from power and eliminating the Christian influences – the history of the Obotrites (Latin: Obotriti) again became vague and obscure. The efforts undertook by Nakon and continued by Mstivoj focussed to create an effective and strong autochthonous political organisation was – in large measure – squandered. There appeared some particularistic interests, including the activities of the union of the Lutici (it is worth remembering the collapse of Mstivoj was their doings); those interests had been held back and now the traditions of independency of the tribes included in the Obotrite Union revived. The sources through which it is possible to penetrate into several decades of the Obotrite history after 1018 are not numerous, generally not very informative, in some cases not consistent or even contradictory, last but least they are not always reliable.

The aim of this paper is to present an international and multidisciplinary project entitled Digitising Patterns of Power (later referred to as DPP), which is funded by the programme Digital Humanities: Langzeitprojekte zum kulturellen Erbe of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The project is hosted by the Institute for Medieval Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (its implementation period is 2015–2018). DPP is intended to compare four regions: the Carolingian Eastern Alps (8th–9th c.), the March / Morava–Thaya / Dyje Borderregion (7th–11th c.), the historical region of Macedonia (12th–14th c.), and historical Southern Armenia (5th–11th c.). The team concentrates on aspects such as: the depiction and analysis of space and location in medieval written sources, the interaction between developed and natural environment, the usage of space, and the emergence of new political, religious and economic structures of power. DPP is implemented within the framework of the programme Digital Humanities: Langzeitprojekte zum kulturellen Erbe of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. We are certain that the outcome of the project will render interesting results and insights, not only for the researchers focusing on the four aforesaid regions, but also for all those who seek new methods for investigating the past of our continen
