“And, in the end, [the Vikings] did not destroy Western Civilization, but enriched it. Parts of their legal system, their tradition of individual freedom, their zest for exploration and the great Icelandic sagas which reflect their heroic age - these have all become part of our northern European heritage.”
Wilson describes the history and culture of the Vikings from the beginning of the Christian era to the end of the Viking Age in about AD 1100.
