This book is a follow up to Baker's 'The Knight', and charts the history and exploits of the Scandinavian warriors who raided the coasts of Europe and the British Isles from the ninth to the eleventh centuries.
The Vikings were among the fiercest and most feared warriors in history. Their three hundred-year-long tale is one of violent battle, adventure, and arduous voyages of exploration, including the discovery of North America five centuries before Christopher Columbus.
'The Viking' takes an even-handed look at the reasons for their expansion, the richness and wonder of their pagan religion, and how many Vikings ultimately settled where they had previously raided.
