Viking Age Iceland (Penguin History) (1st Edition) by Jesse L. Byock Paperback, 432 Pages, Published 2001 ISBN-10: 0-14-029115-6 / 0140291156 ISBN-13: 978-0-14-029115-5 / 9780140291155 The popular image of the Viking Age is of warlords and marauding bands pillaging their way along the shores of Northern Europe. In this fascinating history, Jesse Byock shows that Norse society in Iceland was actually an independent one-almost a republican Free State, without warlords or kings. Comb |
