Omschrijving

The Vikings were among the most consequential peoples of the medieval world, yet popular images of them remain dominated by myth. This book draws on archaeological evidence, the Icelandic sagas, and modern scholarship to present a historically accurate account of who the Vikings actually were: skilled navigators, traders, settlers, and warriors whose reach extended from North America to the Byzantine Empire.

Covering the period from the first recorded Viking raids in the late eighth century through the end of the Viking Age around 1100, the book traces the expansion of Norse peoples across Europe and the Atlantic, their settlement of Iceland and Greenland, their contact with indigenous North American peoples, and the political and cultural changes that eventually ended the Viking era. It is written for general readers who want a reliable account rather than a romanticized one.

Contents:

Reader review: "A well-researched and readable history that cuts through the popular mythology and presents the Vikings as the complex and fascinating people they actually were." -- L. Sigurdsson

This title suits medieval history, Scandinavian history, and exploration sections. It is a strong choice for public libraries, trade bookstores, and wholesale buyers serving readers with an interest in medieval and Northern European history.
