Beskrivelse
The Viking Age, spanning from just before AD 800 to the eleventh century, was a time of remarkable exploration and influence. The Vikings left their mark across many regions reachable by their ships, with effects still visible in today's world.
An in-depth exploration of Viking society and its lasting impact across Europe.
This thoroughly updated edition, featuring a new foreword, dives into the adventurous spirit that defined the Viking Age. For three centuries, the Vikings were much more than the stereotypical fierce, axe-wielding raiders. They established intricate social structures, played a key role in introducing Christianity to Scandinavia, and significantly shaped European history through their trade networks, voyages, and political unifications.
This comprehensive study compiles the latest findings on various aspects of Viking life, including their art, burial traditions, social hierarchies, jewellery, leadership, poetry, and family dynamics. The result is a vivid and engaging portrait of a truly extraordinary civilization.
