The book of the Medievist historian, historical designer Klim Zhukov is devoted to the debunking of popular cliches about the Viking era.
Who were they? Fierce aliens from the Wild North, invincible marine robbers, or colonialists, merchants, exporters of new ideas, technologies, beliefs and customs? What made them go beyond Scandinavia, and why did this result in a massive military onslaught, which turned into a terrible disaster for Europe?
The author thoroughly considers certain aspects of the history of the Vikings: weapons, ships, campaigns and military strategy, trade and economics, contacts with neighboring peoples and states. From the legendary king of Ragnar, leather pants to Harald Surovoy, after the death of which the era of the Vikings ended, we will try to trace the main milestones of one of the most striking pages of world history
