Vikings began raiding islands and monasteries on the Atlantic fringes of Europe in the 790s. The Irish Sea rapidly became one of their most productive hunting-grounds. Viking paganism, demonstrated by spectacular burials, was gradually eclipsed by Christianity. This book looks afresh at the story of this supremely opportunistic people.

This book looks at the activities of the Vikings in the Irish Sea, a band of water that has been important since prehistoric times in the history of maritime cultural exchange between Britain and Ireland as well as the Scandinavian countries. The Vikings fully exploited their naval dominance to exert their influence across this area and David Griffiths presents a unique overview of the results of this dominance. The book will look in detail at the activities of the Vikings in Wales, NW England, the Isle of Man, Scotland, and Ireland. The archaeological evidence such as silver hoards and burials, along with the evidence of place-names, settlement, and sculpture provide a fascinating insight into the mechanisms of Viking power in these areas.

Recenzijas

The seas around Britain and Ireland provided the corridors through which people and ideas spread. In this highly original study of the Irish Sea, David Griffiths offers a vivid insight into the huge social and economic impact brought about by the Norse seafarers who flooded into the region between the 8th and 11th centuries. The mass of archaeological evidence, much of it recently discovered, is here skilfully analysed to offer a fresh, and often surprising, insight into the dynamics of this energetic maritime society.' -- Sir Barry Cunliffe
