Summary

In 700 AD, a tribe of warriors left their homeland and struck out for glory and conquest.

They came to take no prisoners. Their eerie horns made a distinctive sound, and their fearsome longboats struck from out of nowhere.

The Vikings, their history and mythology fascinates many because it speaks to something within us: The fight to succeed and to grow stronger.

Make no mistake, these were not nice people, but much of their legacy was not just about pillaging and destruction. In this audiobook, History Brought Alive reveals new insights into the Vikings.

Join us on a rampage through their history, culture, myths, and more!

Blending historical accounts, tales, and mythology. This is the definitive guide to the life and times of the Vikings. See into the lives of these legendary people, the impact that they had on medieval society and beyond.

In this audiobook you will discover;

  • Common misunderstandings about the Vikings
  • The Viking diet - Discover the energy source of the epic warriors
  • Runestones - Meanings and opening a gateway to ancient Viking civilization
  • Famous battles including The Legendary Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066
  • Language of the Vikings - Old Norse language throughout history
  • Viking longships - How the Norsemen ruled the waves
  • Traditions, culture, and rituals - Births, weddings, and the complex way the Viking’s responded to death
  • Viking gods and goddesses - Loki the trickster, Thor god of thunder, and more

Viking epics

I love how this book was written with lots of good content and information about the viking age. If you are into series like Game of thrones and the likes, I am sure you will enjoy this audiobook.

Monotonous, poorly edited.

I gave up after about an hour and a half.
I think it’s narrated by a satnav, really monotonous.
It doesn’t follow any clear chronology, jumps about, repeats itself.
“Compulsorary” is not a word, also for example while listing animal skins worn, bear is repeated in the same sentence. Little things but annoying & should have been picked up.
Probably fine as a reference book but doesn’t translate well to audiobook.
