Description
Viking warriors were known for their distinctive weaponry on the battlefield, but their true story has become entangled in myth and legend. This book sets out to dispel these myths and reveal the full truth about how Viking weapons were made and used in battle. Drawing on contemporary accounts from across the North Atlantic and the Arab world, as well as practical experimentation and reconstructions by modern weapon-smiths and re-enactors, this book examines the range of weapons that actually underpinned the Vikings' success. From bows and arrows to more conventional arms, the author sheds new light on the skills and equipment that made Viking warriors so formidable. By exploring the history of Viking warfare, this book provides a fresh perspective on one of history's most fascinating periods.
