Description
Swords of the Viking Age by Ian Peirce is a comprehensive guide to the swords of northern Europe during the Viking age. This beautifully illustrated work fills a gap in the literature, providing detailed descriptions and full-length photographs of sixty representative weapons. The book begins with an overview of blade types and construction, pattern-welding, inscription, and handle forms, before presenting the catalogue of examples that is the principal part of this work. The authors' expertise shines through in their selection and description of these ancient heirlooms, which were handled by Ian Peirce during his research. With its unique blend of historical insight and visual detail, Swords of the Viking Age is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medieval swords.
