A colourful journey of discovery through the history, training, weapons, way of life and legacy of the Vikings. From Norway to Sicily, from Russia to Ireland and across the Atlantic to North America, the Vikings crossed the globe in search of land and plunder. Known as ruthless pirates, these fearless warriors plundered the coasts of Europe for more than 250 years. The legacy of the Vikings, including famous names such as Erik the Red, Harald Hardrada and Knut, still occupies an important place in history, and their deeds left incredible traces wherever they landed. With illustrations and photographs, this book illuminates the world of the Vikings, from their warrior customs and tactics to their weapons and legendary longboats, with which they sailed dangerous waters, to the homesteads where they raised their families, formed communities and created a culture that still resonates today.
