Description
The Wolf Age: A Thrilling History of the Viking-Anglo Saxon Conflicts The eleventh century was a time of ruthless conflict and brutal struggle for power in the lands surrounding the North Sea. The rulers of these territories were all hungry for dominance, and the only way to achieve it was through war and plunder. This vicious cycle drew all the lands of the north into a brutal struggle for supremacy and survival. Tore Skeie's account of this period is a gripping and detailed history that brings the world of the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons to vivid life. By weaving together sagas, skaldic poetry, and breathless dramatization, Skeie provides a thrilling and entertaining journey through the bloody shared history of England and Scandinavia. From the wild Norwegian fjords to the wealthy cities of Muslim Andalusia, Skeie takes readers on a journey that sheds new light on the goals, values, and motivations of the Vikings.
