A “thrilling” (Wall Street Journal) History
In the Viking era, the unprecedented expansion of Scandinavians was seen in the world. As traders and attackers, explorers and colonists, they ranged from eastern North America to Asian stapy. But for centuries, the Vikings have been seen through the eyes of others, which corresponds to the taste of medieval writers, Victorian imperialists, Nazis and more.
Based on the latest archaeological and text evidence, the children of Ash and Elm tell the story of Vikings on their terms: their politics, their universe science and religion, their physical world. Known today for a stereotype of marine violence, Vikings exported new ideas, technologies and beliefs to the land and people that they faced. From Eirík Bloodaxe, who fought his way for a state, the most visited woman in the world, Gudrid Thorbernardottir, Aish and Elm’s children Vikings and a notable history of their time.
