Book Description

Excerpt from The Norwegian Account of Haco's Expedition Against Scotland, A. D. 1963: Literally Translated From the Original Islandic of Flateyan and Frisian Mss With Notes Exactly one hundred years ago this Translation of the Norwegian Account of Haco's Invasion of Scotland first issued from the press. Since then, amid much literature upon the subject, it has always held a most important place in the eyes of the student of early Scottish History. As an authentic source of information it has been eagerly sought after, but it has an additional attraction in the graphic pictures which it presents of the various perils by land and sea encountered by the hardy Norsemen. The translator's valuable notes are given in extenso, and for easier reference are transferred from the end of the work and printed on the pages to which they belong.
