I couldn’t get on with this book. I didn’t find it very engaging, and although the author clearly knows their stuff, it doesn’t come across in an interesting or memorable way. Plus, I found that the narration kept wondering off in different directions which made it difficult to read as a bedside-table book.

A bit of a list of rulers and dates so I'll need to relisten to it at some point but interesting and successful in giving a much broader image of the groups reasonably recently referred to as vikings.

An enjoyable, evocative and interesting read about who the Vikings were and what the Viking Age in Britain really looked like. Williams' writing is incredibly readable and incisive on the uses and abuses of the mythology of "Vikings" through the ages and what relationship, if any, these stereotypes have to the reality of Scandinavian settlers in Britain between the 7th and 11th Centuries
