Description:Viking. This word, used to name the armies of seafaring Swedes, Norwegians, and Danes in the eighth to eleventh centuries, struck terror in the hearts of all who endured their brutal raids. At the height of their activity in the tenth century, the Vikings cut a swath of destruction across Europe and the eastern countries, pillaging and plundering territories that included Ireland, England, France, Turkey, Greece, and Russia. As scholar T. D. Kendrick notes, inhabitants of coastal cities feared them as "bloodthirsty and abominable barbarians, enemies of society capable of infamous, indefensible outrages of arson and slaughter."A History of the Vikings is a classic account of the rise and fall of the Vikings. It traces the origins of the Viking peoples from the dawn of civilization in Scandinavia, Denmark, and North Germany, and provides vivid portraits of famous Viking leaders and their most audacious exploits. This book also describes in detail the jewelry, clothing, weapons, ships, and other artifacts that were integral to the Viking culture.Illustrated with more than 50 plates, drawings, and maps, A History of the Vikings is an authoritative study of a fierce and relentless warrior class that prevailed for a relatively brief historic interval but left an indelible mark on Europe, Russia and the East, and America.[From the hardcover edition.]We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
