However, they were not only raiders but also traders and settlers. Using the latest archaeological evidence, the author reassesses the Viking contribution to Late Anglo-Saxon England and examines the creation of the new mixed Anglo-Scandinavian identity.

A Fascinating Piece of Medieval Detective Work,
By Dag Stomberg (St. Andrews, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Viking Age England (Paperback)
A fascinating look at the people and culture and who they really
were in England. Professor Richards specialises in the archaeology of Anglo-Saxon and Viking Age England. This encyclopaedic study brings together research on the Age of The Vikings in the Isle called England. Compelling myths, legends and bare bones of facts of very important three centuries of history. This book cover themes that have long preoccupied the popular imagination of many. Certainly, background material for those of us who care! Dag Stomberg St. Andrews, Scotland
