For 300 years, from just before AD800 until well into the eleventh century, the Vikings affected almost every region accessible to their ships, and left traces that are still part of life today'\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFar from being just 'wild, barbaric, axe-wielding pirates', the Vikings created complex social institutions, oversaw the coming of Christianity to Scandinavia and made a major impact on European history through trade, travel and far-flung consolidation. This encyclopedic study brings together the latest research on Viking art, burial customs, class divisions, jewellery, kingship, poetry and family life. The result is a rich and compelling picture of an extraordinary civilisation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Else Roesdahl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0141984767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141984766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Else Roesdahl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913381642495,"sku":"9780141984766","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_72defd80-cb77-48b9-bc2e-bfde90d631cc.jpg?v=1680618336","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-vikings-else-roesdahl-9780141984766","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
