Beginning in 789 CE, the Vikings raided monasteries, sacked settlements and invaded the Atlantic coast of Europe and the British Isles. They looted and enslaved their enemies, terrorizing all whom they encountered. But that is only part of their story. Sailing their famous longboats, they discovered Iceland and North America, colonised Greenland, founded Dublin, and also sailed up the River Seine and besieged Paris. Illustrated with more than 200 maps, photographs, and artworks, this book examines these fearsome warriors through their origins, social structure, raiding culture, weapons, trading networks, and settlements.
