Here is the complete story of the Vikings from their origins in Scandinavia
during the early first millennium AD, through the incredible period of
raiding, trading, and settling known as the Viking Age, to the last surviving
Viking settlements in fifteenth-century Greenland.
Following in the footsteps of Viking merchants, raiders, and emigrants,
we track their journeys from the first documented raid on the island
monastery of Lindisfarne in 739 to the semi-mythical travels of individuals
such as Eirik the Red and the expansive kingdoms of Viking leaders. The
book explores Viking life and culture in detail: their appearances, warfare,
targets, crafts, and weapons, as well as their stunning pattern-welded
swords and helmets. Drawing on the latest discoveries and augmenting
textual evidence with archaeological detail, this is a vivid picture of the
Vikings at home and abroad in an era that laid many of the foundations
of the modern world.
