Viking Age England

by J.D. Richards and Julian D. Richards

Book Overview

From shortly before AD 800 until the Norman Conquest, England was subject to raids from seafaring peoples from Scandinavia--the Vikings. However, they were not only raiders but also traders and settlers. Using the latest archaeological evidence, the author reassesses the Viking contribution to Late Anglo-Saxon England and examines the creation of the new mixed Anglo-Scandinavian identity.
