THE FIRST VIKINGS. (BOOK I)
This book is a testament to the complex women and men of the Viking Age, a time often characterized by the exploits of its warrior kings. While the men sailed the seas and clashed in battle, it was often the women who held their societies together, who managed their resources, ensured the continuity of their lineage and the stability of their clans, and who influenced the destinies of their families and their kingdoms. Their roles often extended beyond the domestic sphere, influencing decisions on war and peace, shaping political strategies and building alliances. Their voices, though silenced by the passing of time and the limitations of historical records, reverberate through the centuries. Credit: SquiblerComplete
