About the book

The Vikings explores the history and culture of the Scandinavian seafarers who travelled, traded, raided and settled across much of Europe and beyond between the eighth and eleventh centuries. The book examines Viking ships, warfare, religion, exploration and everyday life, while tracing journeys from Britain and Ireland to Russia, the Mediterranean and North America. It presents the Vikings not only as raiders but also as traders, settlers and explorers whose influence reshaped medieval Europe.
