Vikings by Anonim Pdf

The peoples of Scandinavia described a unique historical arc. Beginning as farmers, tilling the limited arable land of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, some of them early became adept at overseas trade. Then suddenly about AD 800 many went 'a-Viking', raiding and looting in the British Isles, western Europe, and even in today's Turkey - before settling down again to cultivate the soil and build towns. The Viking era is generally said to stretch from about AD 800 to 1100. But Scandinavian traders were well known around the shores of the Baltic Sea and in northern Europe as far back as Roman times. Viking history continues today, living on in the customs, laws, place names and bloodlines of the people in many parts of the globe where the Norse ventured more than a millennium ago.

The Sea Wolves by Lars Brownworth Pdf

In AD 793 Norse warriors struck the English isle of Lindisfarne and laid waste to it. Wave after wave of Norse ‘sea-wolves’ followed in search of plunder, land, or a glorious death in battle. Much of the British Isles fell before their swords, and the continental capitals of Paris and Aachen were sacked in turn. Turning east, they swept down the uncharted rivers of central Europe, captured Kiev and clashed with mighty Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. But there is more to the Viking story than brute force. They were makers of law - the term itself comes from an Old Norse word - and they introduced a novel form of trial by jury to England. They were also sophisticated merchants and explorers who settled Iceland, founded Dublin, and established a trading network that stretched from Baghdad to the coast of North America. In The Sea Wolves, Lars Brownworth brings to life this extraordinary Norse world of epic poets, heroes, and travellers through the stories of the great Viking figures. Among others, Leif the Lucky who discovered a new world, Ragnar Lodbrok the scourge of France, Eric Bloodaxe who ruled in York, and the crafty Harald Hardrada illuminate the saga of the Viking age - a time which “has passed away, and grown dark under the cover of night”.
