most interesting peoples then • deep scars everywhere • the Vikings were mislabeled • almost legendary battles • Viking world explored
Chapter 1: “Dwelling into the Viking Mist” - an overview of the Viking culture, from society to weapons. • Chapter 2: “The English and the Norse” – a small part of their common history • Chapter 3: “Traces Today” – information on some of the many legacies from that time
Chapter 1 – Dwelling into the Viking Mist • “Viking” used late, newcomers remained rather unknown • society based on honour above all else • common occupations and activities • life governed by war • preferred weapon types
Chapter 2 – The English and the Norse • both sides divided, plagued by conflict • Norse battle prowess compensates • English armies and lands disorganised • important battles
Chapter 3 – Traces Today • discoveries and remnants of the Old Tongue - treasure - weapons and armour - settlements - words, names of places
The Vikings conquered vast lands • proved themselves to be settlers • conquered used as stepping stones • invaders feared because of the unknown • memories still scar the land
