The Vikings... Their raids and the ancient Scandinavian civilisation from which they originated have fascinated historical literature since the Middle Ages. Their rediscovery outside Scandinavia in the 19th century made them even more prominent. Since then, thanks to new discoveries and insights in films, series and documentaries, they have been in the spotlight more than ever, for better or for worse, sometimes taking great liberties with historical and, above all, archaeological reality. That is the aim of this book. The author, a teacher but above all strongly committed to reconstruction, presents us with the results of this research and rediscovery. In close contact with groups and reconstruction sites dedicated to high-quality, living history, Crom shows us what we can learn from the artefacts preserved in museums, but also from the work of these associations, which are committed to reconstructing this past as faithfully as possible according to our latest knowledge.
