Book Synopsis Children of Ash and Elm by : Neil Price
Download or read book Children of Ash and Elm written by Neil Price and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of the Vikings -- from arts and culture to politics and cosmology -- by a distinguished archaeologist with decades of expertise The Viking Age -- from 750 to 1050 -- saw an unprecedented expansion of the Scandinavian peoples into the wider world. As traders and raiders, explorers and colonists, they ranged from eastern North America to the Asian steppe. But for centuries, the Vikings have been seen through the eyes of others, distorted to suit the tastes of medieval clerics and Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian imperialists, Nazis, and more. None of these appropriations capture the real Vikings, or the richness and sophistication of their culture. Based on the latest archaeological and textual evidence, Children of Ash and Elm tells the story of the Vikings on their own terms: their politics, their cosmology and religion, their material world. Known today for a stereotype of maritime violence, the Vikings exported new ideas, technologies, beliefs, and practices to the lands they discovered and the peoples they encountered, and in the process were themselves changed. From Eirík Bloodaxe, who fought his way to a kingdom, to Gudrid Thorbjarnardóttir, the most traveled woman in the world, Children of Ash and Elm is the definitive history of the Vikings and their time.
Download or read book The Legend of Ragnar Lodbrok written by and published by Graymalkin Media. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions love the hit television show Vikings—but how many fans know that its main character, Ragnar, is based on an actual Viking king whose ambitious and terrifying exploits have been legend since the ninth century AD? As fierce, cunning, and determined as the character he inspired, King Ragnar Lodbrok is perhaps most famous for his sacking of Paris in 845 AD. He is also widely regarded to be among the first Viking leaders to target the riches of the British Isles not simply for plunder, but also for Danish settlement. The Legend of Ragnar Lodbrok presents fascinating translations of ninth, twelfth, and thirteenth-century writings—including sagas, poems, and historical accounts—that describe, in vivid detail, the adventures of Ragnar, his sons, and his formidable wives, Lagertha the Shieldmaiden and Princess Aslaug. These absorbing convergences of fact and Norse mythology include a new translation of The Saga of Ragnar Lodbrok; a new translation of The Tale of Ragnar’s Sons; The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the single most important source for English history during the early Middle ages; Krákumál, a famous twelfth-century poem thought to be Ragnar’s death song; and the Gesta Danorum, a patriotic work that describes the origin of Lagertha and her relationship with Ragnar. Whether Ragnar was a single man of a thousand deeds or an amalgam of heroes may never be proven, but The Legend of Ragnar Lodbrok offers thrilling insight into his brutal, unforgettable world.

Download or read book T(h)ing - þing or ðing written by Gunivortus Goos and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical term "Thing" refers to popular assemblies, open-air court sessions and parliaments. All three meanings are found in many examples in the book, including over 225 illustrations of which 182 in color. In addition 48 supporting maps are added. Thing as a juridical court session occurs most frequently, such as in old descriptions like: "In this judgment seat, on the border of the two parishes, the Thing or Dinc, that is, the assembly of the court participants, gathered to take the oath," and in: "The Wood-Thinge were held each time at this farmstead to redetermine the distribution of the march lands. The landlords and their heirs often came from far away to these Wood-Thinge. Many a nobleman's carriage, many a high-wheeled cart, and many a peasant's covered wagon must have stood here." Thinge, i.e. public meetings and court sessions, were preferably held under the leafy canopy of the linden tree, because it was believed that the scent of linden blossoms would make the disputants gentle and the judges benevolent. In addition, the linden tree was said to have a great protective effect. Very many of the presented Thingplaces have been preserved and many of them are impressive places to visit.
