Viking Empires is a definitive new history of five hundred years of
Viking civilization and the first study of the global implications
of the expansion, integration, and reorientation of the Viking
World. From the first contact in the 790s, the book traces the
political, military, social, cultural and religious history of the
Viking Age from Iceland to Lithuania. The authors show that it is
no longer possible to understand the history of the Norman
Conquest, the successes of David I of Scotland, or German
settlement in Poland, Prussia and the Baltic States without
integrating the internal history of Scandinavia. The book concludes
with a new account of the end of the Viking era, arguing that there
was no sudden decline but only the gradual absorption of the
Scandinavian kingdoms into the larger project of the crusades and a
refocusing of imperial ambitions on the Baltic States and Eastern
Europe. The authors, experts in Scottish history, medieval studies,
and law, have taught a course on Viking history to undergraduates
at the University of Aberdeen for a number of years.
