Tore Skeie (Norway's Most Important Young Historian) takes readers on a thrilling journey through the bloody shared history of England and Scandinavia, and on across early medieval Europe, from the wild Norwegian fjords to the wealthy cities of Muslim Andalusia. Warfare, plotting, backstabbing and bribery abound as Skeie skillfully weaves sagas and skaldic poetry with breathless dramatization as he entertainingly brings the world of the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons to vivid life. In the eleventh century, the rulers of the lands surrounding the North Sea are all hungry for power. To get power they need soldiers, to get soldiers they need silver, and to get silver there is no better way than war and plunder. This vicious cycle draws all the lands of the north into a brutal struggle for supremacy and survival that will shatter kingdoms and forge an empire..."--1241 -- A regime facing ruin -- The warrior's good life -- Fire and smoke -- Midgard -- hviti kristr -- To Norway -- Broad ancestral lands -- Two kingdoms -- The great -- Silver coins for the king's headChapter overview -- Overview of persons -- 1241 -- A regime facing ruin -- The warrior's good life -- Fire and smoke -- Midgard -- hvíti kristr -- To Norway -- Broad ancestral lands -- Two kingdoms -- The Great -- Silver coins for the king's head -- Chronology -- AfterwordTore Skeie ; translated from the Norwegian by Alison McCulloughTranslated from the NorwegianMaps on pages 2 and 3 of cover"First published as 'Hvitekrist.
