In The Vikings: Ailbhe MacShamhrain investigates the Vikings from the early Iron Age of the 4/5th century AD to the IRish Settlements of the 12th century AD. From runic inscriptions, to the corrupt politics of hiberno-Scandinavian society, Valhalla ship burials, the cult of the Norse gods, murderous raids and Brian Boruma and the Battle of Clontark, numerous quotations, photographs and illustrations re-create the Viking Age. The Vikings changed the face of continental Europe. This book is an easy and absorbing introduction to this vital period of European history.
