The Northmen in Britain

"The Northmen in Britain" by Eleanor Hull, is a historical tale that recounts the Viking Age's dramatic effect on Britain, chronicling the Northmen's invasions, settlements, and ensuing cultural exchanges from the 9th to 11th centuries. The book vividly illustrates how warrior seafarers changed British history and society through conquests and kingdom establishments, beginning around 787 AD. Hull uses historical records and Norse sagas to showcase the Viking presence, displaying the transformation of the Norsemen from simple raiders into settlers who founded long-lasting kingdoms in Northumbria and other territories, and providing insights into their social systems, battles, and relationships with native people, laying the groundwork for a thorough study of important people and occurrences.
