From the late 700s to the early 1000s, waves of strange and ferocious warriors from the barren lands of the North routinely swept into Britain and the Western roman Empire. Plundering and pillaging, they left ruins in their wake; their trembling victims never knew when or where they would strike next. Hailing from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, yet beholden to no single king, government, or god, the Vikings fought for personal glory, material wealth, and a longing for adventure. They roamed as far as the Arab world, always following the code, "live hard, die with honor." Sprague, the author, casts a fresh light and scholarly eye on these fiercely independent people.

Here are vivid recreations of Viking life in Norway and Iceland; of raids in England and France; depictions of their presence in America (Vinland) and Russia; ship construction, weapons, art, literature, mythology, agriculture, decisive battles, runes and much more. An informative introduction outlines Viking history and ways of life, while descriptive captions for each illustration provide additional, fascinating information.

By Else Roesdahl, Translated by Susan M. Margeson and Kirsten Williams.
Far from being ''wild, barbaric, axe-wielding pirates'', the Vikings created complex social institutions, oversaw the coming of Christianity to Scandinavia and made a major impact on Europen history through trade, travel, and far-flung colonization. This encyclopaedic study brings together wide-ranging research on Viking art, burial customs, class divisions, jewellry, kingship, poetry and family life, and in this revised edition, has been updated to include recent discoveries. The result is a rich compelling picture of an extraordinary civilization.
