Based on the latest archaeological and textual evidence, Children of Ash and Elm tells the story of the Vikings on their own terms: their politics, their cosmology, their art and culture.

Description
Pillage, rape, and plunder, these are the acts we most readily associate with the Vikings. But now, new evidence suggests that some lesser-known endeavors, including building, navigating, and colonizing, may have been what really helped them to thrive. At the end of the eighth century AD, the Vikings, fearsome warriors from Denmark and Norway, powered their way through Western Europe, ransacking whatever and whoever stood in their way.

But as these Norse warriors left their northern strongholds to trade, raid, and settle across wide areas of Europe, Asia and the North Atlantic, their violent and predatory culture left a unique imprint on medieval history. So much so that, by 1200, the Viking...

Description
In the dying days of the eighth century, the Vikings erupted onto the international stage with brutal raids and slaughter. The medieval Norsemen may be best remembered as monk murderers and village pillagers, but this is far from the whole story.
