Sea Wolves: A History of the Vikings
14.99 €
In 793 AD, Norse warriors attacked the English island of Lindisfarne and completely devastated it. Wave after wave of Scandinavian "sea wolves" followed in pursuit of booty, land, or a glorious death in battle. Much of the British Isles fell to their swords, and the continental capitals of Paris and Aachen were sacked in turn. Turning east, they sailed the uncharted rivers of Central Europe, captured Kyiv, and clashed with mighty Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire. But the story of the Vikings is not all about conquest. They introduced a new form of jury trial in England, were sophisticated merchants and explorers who settled Iceland, founded Dublin, and established a trading network stretching from Baghdad to the coast of North America.
