The Vikings originated in Scandinavia in countries now known as Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The Viking period covered from about the sack of Lindisfarne 793 CE to The Battle of Hastings 1066 CE. Viking were noted for being farmers, raiders, traders, slavers, mercenaries and explorers, using their advanced sailing, navigational skills and longships for exploring river systems and across the seas as part of military, mercantile and territorial expansion and settlement, and even for some serving in the Byzantine Emperor's bodyguard called the Varangian Guard. The geographical extent of the Viking travels included to the East - The Baltic, Kiev, Novgorod, Constantinople, along the river routes; and to the West - England, Ireland, Scotland, and various islands, Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland (Canada).
Our knowledge of the Vikings is hampered because of the lack of recorded history, what we have got are rune stones, the writings of their enemies, the writings of the decedents in the 12th to the 14th century in the Sagas, linguistic and etymological studies, and the study of the artefacts from the Vikings themselves. Archaeological finds are being revisited and there are still more being made and all adding to our knowledge.
The Viking artifacts provide an excellent opportunity to learn how their furniture, equipment and accoutrements were made, used, and function, as well as a starting point for learning about other cultures and times in history.
This volume contains a collection of knowledge amassed over 30+ years of trial and error in the pursuit of a better historical presentation. It sets out the why's and wherefores, and highlights the traps and pitfalls for the unwary, so that you the reader can start or continue on the journey to a more accurate presentation for the purpose of living history, re-enactment, a display in a museum or just an interest of history.
This volume covers some of the basic information (from safety to the form and function of furniture, and chest fittings) and eight basic Viking projects:
