The Wolf Age by Tore Skeie
7 out of 10The people of Scandinavia and the British Isles have had centuries of contentious interactions. This book focuses on the years between 980 and 1042 AD when Viking kingdoms grew larger and more aggressive. Whence they brutally ravished and pillaged the Anglo-Saxons. The continuous warfare was dark but was also a catalyst for sound economic and cultural strength culminating in the reign of Cnut the Great as king of England, Denmark, and Norway.
