Northmen: The Viking Saga 793-1241 AD – John Haywood

All the Vikings – from Hedeby to Palermo and Baghdad to Baffin Island by way of Kiev, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, Constantinople and Al Andalus, plus the more familiar Orkney, Shetland, Hebrides, Ireland, Iceland and England and Wales. A vast overview of their piracy and settlements, exploration and misadventure, and – in time – politics.
