Historian Lars Brownworth brings to life the extraordinary Scandinavian world of epic heroes, poets, and travelers through the stories of great Vikings, exploring the profound influence of the Norse people on the future history of the entire map of Europe, from Ireland to Russia and Byzantium. Leif Eriksson, who discovered a new world, Ragnar "Lodbrok," the scourge of France, Harald Fairhair, the first king of Norway, Eric Bloodaxe, who ruled in York, and many other real (and not so real) heroes come alive on the pages of this book. The book shows that the Vikings were not only a warlike people but also transformers and reformers, who gave the world a new form of trial by jury in England, settled Iceland, founded Dublin, and created a vast trading network stretching from Baghdad to the shores of North America.
