A new narrative history of the Viking Age, interwoven with exploration of the physical remains & landscapes that the Vikings fashioned & walked: their rune-stones & ship burials, settlements & battlefields.

To many, the word ‘ Viking’ brings to mind red scenes of rape & pillage, of marauders from beyond the sea rampaging around the British coastline in the last gloomy centuries before the Norman Conquest.

It is true that Britain in the Viking Age was a turbulent, violent place. The kings & warlords who have impressed their memories on the period revel in names that fire the blood & stir the imagination: Svein Forkbeard & Edmund Ironside, Ivar the Boneless & Alfred the Great, Erik Bloodaxe & Edgar the Pacifier amongst many others.

Evidence for their brutality, their dominance, their avarice & their pride is still unearthed from British soil with stunning regularity.
