“The Norsemen abroad have often been described in English, but we mean to look chiefly at Scandinavian societies at home in the period A.D. 800 - 1200. In so doing we shall gain an inkling of the means whereby they maintained their commerce with the outside world, peaceful and warlike, on so large a scale and for so long a time.”
An account of the Norsemen in the period A.D. 800-1200 which delivers the reader an understanding of the society, technology, art and literature of Viking people.
