Their raids, their legends, their culture - everything about the feared warriors from the north. The Vikings are considered the cruel conquerors and terrors of the early Middle Ages. Their raid-like attacks on many countries in Europe have shaped their image and place in history to this day. But the Vikings were also very successful traders and courageous explorers. The bearded Norsemen from Denmark, Norway and Sweden travelled as far as Constantinople and even America.
In this book Ben Hubbard describes the culture of the Vikings, their origins, their raids, their meteoric rise to become a feared warrior force and their equally rapid fall in the eleventh century. Many illustrations and overview maps make this work as informative as it is entertaining as a guide to a fabled world.
