Vikings

Vikings are formidable warriors who conquered America long before Columbus and founded the Russian state. Their rooks made fear of enemies not only in the northern seas, but also off the coast of Africa. In Europe, they were called "Normans", in ancient Russia - "Varangians", in the Arab countries - "Rus".
A thousand years separates us from the Viking’s Golden era, and today their story was so bizarre with myths and legends that they could not be divided ... Were Vikings wild, uneducated barbarians, destroyers? Or by the Guardians of the unique ancient culture and their own code of military honor?
The work of the outstanding Swedish historian Anders Magnus Rabringolm (1786-1862) "campaigns of the Vikings, the state structure, customs and customs of ancient Scandinavians" saw the light in 1835. In the future, he was repeatedly reprinted and continues to be one of the most authoritative studies on the history of the Vikings.
The text of the book is based on the rare, first edition of the book of the book of strings in Russian (1861, the translation of A. Shemyakin)
