VIKINGS (OSPREY)

Viking warriors established the dukedom of Normandy, conquered southern Italy, provided the Byzantine Emperors' bodyguard and landed on the shores of America 500 years before Columbus. Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs and original Osprey artwork, this book presents a new window into their way of life including detailed studies of the Hersir, the raiding warrior of the Viking world, and the legendary Viking longship.
