Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations. The brand we now know as "Scandinavia" is a recent invention. During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled.

The Vikings were a seafaring people from the late eighth to early 11th century who established a name for themselves as traders, explorers and warriors.

It is true that the Vikings were, without a doubt, brutal men living in a brutal age.

Hammer of the Gods tells the extraordinary saga of Olaf Tryggvason – warlord, wanderer, king, and crusader – whose life rivals the most legendary figures of Viking lore. Born in exile and hunted from birth, Olaf survived slavery, betrayal, and shipwreck to become a fearsome warrior across the Viking world from the icy fjords of Norway to the courts of Kyiv, the slave markets of the Baltics, and the battlefields of England and Ireland. His rise would shake the foundations of Norse society, forge new kingdoms, and ignite a holy war against the old gods themselves.

Middelalderen har fået sit navn, fordi man i ældre tider anså perioden for at være en kulturel nedgangstid, der lå mellem romerrigets blomstrende kultur og renæssancen. Men betegnelsen "den mørke middelalder" er alt andet end retvisende. Det var ikke kun en periode præget af stridigheder mellem kirken og kongemagten, men også en periode hvor arkitektur, digterkunst og poesi trivedes som aldrig før. I "Middelalderen i Danmark" fortæller Niels-Knud Liebgott om livet, kunsten og litteraturen i middelalderens Danmark fra Harald Blåtand i 900-tallet indførte kristendommen og 550 år frem i tiden.

The Norman invasion of England in 1066 and the subsequent rule of William the Conqueror are among the best-remembered and often-documented events in European history.

From the late eighth century to somewhere around the middle of the 11th century, the history of Europe was dominated by the people who have become known as the Vikings. The Vikings were among the first global explorers who established territory that stretched from North America in the west to Constantinople in the east, and from the frigid wastes of the Arctic in the north to the warm shores of the Mediterranean Sea in the south.
