Die Wikinger

Product Description The Vikings. 
Terrifying warriors and conquerors, seafarers who had travelled far and wide, merchants, farmers, and highly specialized craftspeople: They all shape our picture of the Vikings. The Vikings dominated the North Sea and Baltic Sea region from the ninth to the eleventh century. The biggest known warship of the Vikings, measuring 37 meters in length, is at the heart of the publication, which is dedicated to the subject areas of maritime culture, military expansion, and belief. About the Author Gareth Williams is a curator at the British Museum with responsibility for early medieval coins and Viking antiquities.
