The Vikings - sea warriors from Scandinavia who went after prey - kept almost all of Europe in fear for a long time.

Norwegian mercenary warriors even reached the largest city of that time - Constantinople, where they were willingly received service in the Varangian squad of the Byzantine emperors.

The next volume of our series tells about the exploits of the Vikings outside their native Scandinavia, about the surprises and dangers that they had to face in the sea, and about the laws of honor and valor, according to which these northern robbers lived.

Happy sailing on the Viking longships!
