Sons of Vikings: A Legendary History of the Viking Age (Noer Kurt)(Paperback)

The Viking Age (793-1066) was an explosive time in history. Scandinavian adventurers carried on sleek dragon-prow ships set out in all directions to explore, trade, war, and make their fortunes. But these men and women were not just opportunists and mercenaries. They would prove to be a transformative force everywhere they went. They founded kingdoms, and new domains formed to resist them. They re-established trade from the Silk Roads to the misty lands beyond the known boundaries of the known world. They changed the very trajectory of history. Sons of Vikings is a different kind of Viking book. This book tells the stories of the Viking Age through the men and women who lived it. You will learn about Ragnar Lothbrok and the dawn of the Viking phenomenon, how Rollo changed France, Alfred's battles for England, the adventures of Ivar the Boneless in Ireland, Floki's discovery of Iceland,
