HIST 364 - Vikings!

3 Credit Hours
What do we know about Vikings? Scandinavian marauders who pillaged at will throughout Europe, or highly efficient tradesmen who built kingdoms on their success? Or perhaps they were great poets who tamed time, space, and gods with their words and raised memorials in stone to their loved ones? Or men with horned helmets and furry leg-warmers who quaffed mead in copious quantities while yearning to die in battle and fly to Valhalla, the sky-hall of the gods? We will use their own words, as well as the words of their enemies, friends and descendants, to address these questions.
