Did you know that the Vikings weren’t just one people? The pillaging pirates who raided Europe’s coasts came from all over Scandinavia, and lots of people from those countries never even picked up a sword – they preferred to stay at home and farm their own land, thank you very much! This visually stunning history guide will transport you back in time to meet the real Vikings, including skillful shipbuilders, the explorers who ‘discovered’ North America and Greenland – and the fearsome warriors that ruled over England. Learn about their remarkable rune system, the war of the Norse gods, how they traded with far-flung civilisations and much more! Each volume in the Factology series provides a fast-paced and fun introduction to its subject, explaining key concepts and highlighting significant events in a manner that is clear, accessible and entertaining ER -
