The Norse people were brilliant explorers, expert traders, innovative engineers, and founders of nations. This book takes you on a chronological and thematic voyage across the known world of the 9th to 11th centuries, revealing the depth and complexity of a culture that spanned four continents.
Inside this comprehensive reader, you will: Uncover the Secrets of the Longship: Learn how this technological marvel made global expansion possible, allowing Vikings to sail rough seas and shallow rivers alike. Track the Three Paths: Follow the distinct journeys of the Norse: the Danes (conquest of England/France), the Norwegians (epic westward expansion to Iceland, Greenland, and Vinland), and the Swedes (as the Rus', laying the foundations for Eastern European states through trade to Constantinople).
Explore a Sophisticated Society: Step into the longhouse to understand Viking daily life, the surprising legal rights of Viking women, and the crucial role of the Thing (legal assembly). Grasp the Economic Engine: Delve into the fascinating silver economy powered by Arabic dirhams and the thriving commercial centres (kaupangs) that linked Scandinavia to distant Islamic and Byzantine worlds. Witness the Enduring Legacy: Understand how the Vikings' profound influence on the English language (words like sky, take, law) is still felt today in modern art, law, and popular culture.
