PENGUIN HISTORICAL ATLAS OF THE VIKINGS (PB)

Viking marauders in their longships burst through the defences of ninth-century Europe, but the Vikings were more than just marine warriors. This atlas shows their development as traders and craftsmen, explorers, settlers and mercenaries. With over sixty full colour maps, it follows the tracks of the Viking merchants who travelled deep into Russia, of Viking mercenaries who served in the emperor’s bodyguard at Constantinople, and Viking mariners who sailed beyond the edge of the known world to North America.
