The Northern World: The History and Heritage of Northern Europe, AD 400 - 1100

This fascinating book examines the origins of the peoples of northern Europe, of the cross-cultures which developed around the North Sea and the Baltic rather than around the Mediterranean. Germans and Anglo-Saxons, Picts, Scots, Irish, Welsh, Scandinavians, and Northern Slavs all met and mingled in the chill northern reaches of Europe, righting, trading, settling, intermarrying, and influencing one another—and our own lives—to an extent that is only being truly appreciated today. The Contribution Of Germanic-speaking Peoples To Our Civilization Between 400-1100 Ad Is In Many Ways As Vital As That Of The Latin Speakers. A Team Of Historians And Archaeologists Condense The Discoveries Of Modern Research Into A Concise And Readable Form In This Volume. Gods And Heroes Of The Northern World / Christine E.
