Now in paperback - A comprehensive new history of the infamous Vikings. As he draws his last breath, the world of which he is the greatest figurehead also moves towards its end, its existence about to pass from history into legend and later into myth. Those men and women raided and traded their way into history whilst at the same time helping to build new nations in Scandinavia and beyond.The year 1066: a battlefield in England, a mighty king lies prone on the ground, his lifeblood ebbing out of him.
In succeeding years, other monasteries fell too; Jarrow, Monkwearmouth, Iona. This is not Hastings; it is Stamford Bridge, and the dying king is Harald Hardrada, one of the greatest figures of the Viking age.It was a bolt from the blue when Viking raiders descended on the defenseless monastery at Lindisfarne in 793 and left it a heap of burning rubble.
