This history book looks at the variety of Viking activity and its relevance to both British and world history. The Vikings are the stuff of much popular legend and the success of the city of York's Viking Centre proves how this period of history excites the imagination. Although renowned for their pillaging activities, they were also skilled navigators, ship builders, traders and artisans. This book describes who they were, where they came from and what they achieved. The time chart included, demonstrates events as they occured elsewhere in the world.
