Each book describes the Life-style, customs, religious beliefs, political activities, means of combat, leisure pursuits and culture of the people, and looks t the life and exploits of one outstanding individual. Harald (c. 1010-1066) was a brother to Stout, King of Norway, and he earned the nicname "Hardrada" which means 'hard ruler' or 'ruthless.' It was he who decided he needed to attempt the conquest of England. [NOTE: Of course, as with all history books, there have been new discoveries which would add to the Viking history, i.e., the location of a perfectly preserved entire Viking ship of the era, etc. However most of this book is still relevant.]
