The history of the Vikings is bloody and eventful, and Viking warriors capture the popular imagination to this day. Viking raids reached from Norway to North Africa, they established the dukedom of Normandy, provided the Byzantine Emperor's bodyguard and landed on the shores of America 500 years before Columbus. In The Vikings the authors provide a detailed examination of the Viking Hersir, the raiding warrior of the Viking world, and the famed Viking longship that transported the Vikings through treacherous waters to their bloody raids. This beautifully illustrated book also includes a fascinating insight into the Vikings in North America and the lives the Viking led at home.

Here is the complete story of the vikings from their origins in Scandinavia during the early first millenium AD, through the incredible period of raiding, trading, and settling known as the Viking Age and the huge impact that the vikings had on the course of European history, to the last surviving viking settlements in 15th century Greenland. The book explores viking life and culture in detail, from their costumes and appearance to their longhouses and towns, including warfare, targets, and tactics are analyzed, as are their weapons, crafts, and other artifacts-including their stunning pattern-welded swords, their helmets, and their hoards. The ship, the linchpin of the viking world, is described and illustrated with numerous examples, among them Oseberg and Nydam.
