Description
The Viking Age - a period of unprecedented expansion and transformation for the Scandinavian peoples. Between 750 and 1050, they reshaped the world, leaving a lasting impact on the regions they encountered. For a millennium, however, their history has been largely filtered through the writings of their victims. A new perspective on the Vikings is offered in Children of Ash and Elm, a comprehensive history that draws on the latest archaeological and textual evidence. This book presents the Vikings on their own terms, exploring their politics, cosmology, art and culture. By examining the lives of individuals such as those who led expeditions and explored new lands, a more nuanced understanding of this fascinating period is revealed. Through this fresh approach, the Vikings are shown to be more than just raiders and traders, but complex individuals with their own stories and motivations. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the Vikings and their place in history.
