Description: Most books about the Vikings in Britain end in 1066, with the death of Harald Hardrada at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. For Scotland, however, the Viking Age was only the beginning of a relationship with Scandinavia that would define the country for years to come. In this new study, prepare to see medieval Scotland in a completely new light.
