In 885 AD, the Vikings laid siege to Paris, to which a young monk named Abbo, of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, stood as witness. Later, he came to make a record of what he saw, heard and believed in a verse chronicle, the «Bella parisiacae urbis». His often stirring account speaks of the relentless and ingenious attacks of the Norsemen, the selfless heroism of the defending Frankish warriors, and the misery and terror of the besieged Parisians. But his canvas is far larger than this single occurrence, for he hints at greater things yet to come, such as the final disintegration of Carolingian rule, the eventual establishment of the Capetian line of monarchs, and the creation of a French Danelaw, namely, Normandy. Ultimately, however, Abbo is not concerned with an impartial narration of events, but rather with salvation through history - of the individual and of the nation of the Franks. The macaronic style of his chronicle very much appealed to the sensibilities of the time, thus ensuring that Abbo's work would endure.

From 1961-68, archaeologists and Viking scholars Helge Ingstad and Anne Stine Ingstad conducted seven expeditions at L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland. The results of their excavations solved one of the world’s greatest mysteries: the location of Vinland and the First European settlement in North America. This volume, illustrated with maps, drawings, and color photos, combines a firsthand account of the Ingstads’ groundbreaking discovery with a history of Viking explorations. It describes how the authors worked from old Viking sagas, existing research, and their own hypothese to piece together the story of a group of Vikings who, faced with crowded conditions in their settlements in Greenland, decided to expand their horizons, eventually discovering a new territory.

The Vikings have long been a subject of endless fascination. Since the 16th century, this intrigue has inspired many well-known artists to capture Viking life in paintings and drawings. Hereby, we can understand how people have understood and reconceived the Viking story through time. Of special interest are the examples of how Vikings were depicted in Nazi propaganda art. Chapter titles include: Re-discovery of the Viking Age; Scandinavia’s Early History Revealed; Absolutism and Enlightenment; Romanticism and the Past; Scandinavian Mythology in Classical Garb; Gods and Heroes of Scandinavianism; The Return of the Vikings; Into the 20th Century. Paintings by Johannes Wiedewelt, Abildgaard, Eckersberg, Lorenz Fröhlich, Constantin Hansen, Peter Nicolai Arbo, Christian Krohg, Carl Larsson, Kandinsky, Bjørn Nørgaard and many others form the basis for this analysis.
