The Vikings and their enemies : warfare in Northern Europe, 750-1100
Line, Philip2014
Books
The Vikings had an extraordinary historical impact. From the 8th to the 11th centuries, they ranged across Europe - raiding, exploring, colonizing - and their presence was felt as far away as Russia and Byzantium. They are most famous as warriors, yet perhaps their talent for warfare is too little understood. Philip Line, in this scholarly and highly readable survey of the Viking age, uses documentary sources - the chronicles, sagas and poetry - and the latest archaeological evidence to describe how the Vikings and their enemies in northern Europe organized for war.
