A fresh account of some of history's greatest warriors. The Vikings had an extraordinary and far-reaching historical impact. From the eighth to the eleventh centuries, they ranged across Europe—raiding, exploring, colonizing—and their presence was felt as far away as Russia and Byzantium. They are most famous as warriors, yet perhaps their talent for warfare is too little understood. Philip Line, in this scholarly and highly readable study of the Viking age, uses original documentary sources—the chronicles, sagas, and poetry—and the latest archaeological evidence to describe how the Vikings and their enemies in northern Europe organized for war. His graphic examination gives an up-to-date interpretation of the Vikings’ approach to violence and their fighting methods that will be fascinating reading for anyone who is keen to understand how they operated and achieved so much in medieval Europe. He explores the practicalities of waging war in the Viking age, including compelling accounts of the nature of campaigns and raids, and detailed accounts of Viking-age battles on land and sea, using all the available evidence to give an insight into the experience of combat. Throughout this fascinating book, Philip Line seeks to dispel common myths about the Vikings and misconceptions about their approach to warfare.

It's the second Viking Age in England, and King �thelred II reigns. Five ealdormen represent him in the old Saxon kingdoms - united now for fifty years. But battles are still being fought against the Viking raiders looking to plunder England for her wealth. Leofwine is the ealdorman of the Hwicce and has proved himself in the Battle of Strathclyde. But the spectre of Swein, King of Denmark, the man who partially blinded him five years before while on a diplomatic mission, has suddenly become a harrowing reality with the death of King Olaf of Norway at his hands. As the Viking raids intensify under Swein's command, conflict at the King's Witan and amongst his councillors is growing.Leofwine finds himself treading a difficult path between loyalty and the twisted self-interests of the men the King insists on surrounding himself with. The sychophants are winning as an impressionable monarch replaces unsuitable men with those who are even more ineffectual. Leofwine knows a great battle is looming and doubts whether the King is up to the task of ridding the land of the raiders. Can Leofwine weather more storms and grow his own power base? Will his King, once and for all, lose patience with his damaged ealdorman? Will Swein exact his final revenge on Leofwine? Can Leofwine put a stop to the Viking menace once and for all?Viking Enemy is the second novel in the epic Earls of Mercia series, charting the final century of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom from 994-1071 through the eyes of the magnificent House of Leofwine, the only family to maintain its position for such a long period of time, outlasting even the mighty House of Godwine, akin only to the long-ruling family of the House of Wessex.
