"A wide range of topics are covered, from the equipment and training of the individual warriors to the overall structure of their campaigns. There is also an interesting section on the world view of the Viking warriors and their contemporaries." —HistoryofWar.org The Vikings had an extraordinary and far-reaching historical impact. From the eighth to the eleventh 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 study of the Viking age, uses original 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. His graphic examination gives an up-to-date interpretation of the Vikings’ approach to violence and their fighting methods that will be fascinating reading for anyone who is keen to understand how they operated and achieved so much in medieval Europe. He explores the practicalities of waging war in the Viking age, including compelling accounts of the nature of campaigns and raids, and detailed accounts of Viking-age battles on land and sea, using all the available evidence to give an insight into the experience of combat. Throughout this fascinating book, Philip Line seeks to dispel common myths about the Vikings and misconceptions about their approach to warfare.

Beginning in 789AD, the Vikings raided monasteries, sacked cities and invaded western Europe. They looted and enslaved their enemies. But that is only part of their story. In long boats they discovered Iceland and America (both by accident) and also sailed up the Seine to Paris (which they sacked). They settled from Newfoundland to Russia, founded Dublin and fought battles as far afield as the Caspian Sea. A thousand years after their demise, traces of the Vikings remain all the way from North America to Istanbul. They traded walruses with Inuits, brought Russian furs to Western Europe and took European slaves to Constantinople. Their graves contain Arab silver, Byzantine silks and Frankish weapons. In this accessible book, the whole narrative of the Viking story is examined from the eighth to the 11th century. Arranged thematically, Vikings A History of the Norse People, examines the Norsemen from exploration to religion to trade to settlement to weaponry to kingdoms to their demise and legacy. But today questions remain: what prompted the first Viking raids? What stopped their expansion? And how much of the tales of murder, rape and pillage is myth?

University Press returns with three short and captivating books in one volume - a brief history of three Viking Warriors: Ragnar Lothbrok, Björn Ironside, and Ivar the Boneless. Book 1 - Ragnar Lothbrok Ragnar Lothbrok was a legendary Viking. A warrior king whose exploits in battle won him the fierce loyalty of his people (and the name "Shaggy-Breeches"), he and his armies sowed terror as they invaded their way across 9th-century Europe. The story of Ragnar Lothbrok's life emerges from the misty depths of the early Middle Ages in the form of a rich oral tradition of Norse legend. He may be remembered for plundering cities, but upon his death he left behind new trade routes throughout Europe and many sons who would carry on their father's traditions. Book 2 - Björn Ironside Björn Ironside was a legendary Norse warrior king. Stories handed down in oral tradition for centuries, and later recorded by monks, tell the tale of a powerful Viking who set out to conquer Rome. Björn Ironside was a member of a Viking family well-known for striking fear in the hearts of their enemies. Together with his father, Ragnar Lothbrok, and his brother, Ivar the Boneless, Björn Ironside ventured out to explore, trade, loot, and pillage on a global scale. Book 3 - Ivar the Boneless Ivar the Boneless was so frail that he could not even stand without somebody holding him up, and he had to be carried on a shield whenever he went into battle. Yet he went on to become one of the most feared Vikings in history. Ivar the Boneless led the Great Heathen Army on its conquest of England and ushered in an era of Viking domination over Britain that would last until long after his death. To the terrorized British, he was a pagan demon sent from hell. To the proud Vikings, he was a living god with supernatural powers. Each of these three books tells the intensely human story of a man who changed the world in a way that no one else could.
