About this listen

In 700 AD, a tribe of warriors left their homeland and struck out for glory and conquest.

They came to take no prisoners. Their eerie horns made a distinctive sound, and their fearsome longboats struck from out of nowhere.

The Vikings, their history and mythology fascinates many because it speaks to something within us: The fight to succeed and to grow stronger.

Make no mistake, these were not nice people, but much of their legacy was not just about pillaging and destruction. In this audiobook, History Brought Alive reveals new insights into the Vikings.

Join us on a rampage through their history, culture, myths, and more!

Blending historical accounts, tales, and mythology. This is the definitive guide to the life and times of the Vikings. See into the lives of these legendary people, the impact that they had on medieval society and beyond.

In this audiobook you will discover;

  • Common misunderstandings about the Vikings
  • The Viking diet - Discover the energy source of the epic warriors
  • Runestones - Meanings and opening a gateway to ancient Viking civilization
  • Famous battles including The Legendary Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066
  • Language of the Vikings - Old Norse language throughout history
  • Viking longships - How the Norsemen ruled the waves
