Specificatii
In the two centuries before the Norman invasion of England,
Anglo-Saxon and Viking forces clashed repeatedly in battle, with
mixed success for both sides. After the Vikings defeated three out
of the four great Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and came close to defeating
the fourth in the 860s and 870s, they conquered and settled large
areas of England. The surviving West Saxon kingdom in turn
conquered the Viking settlements in England to create the first
unified English kingdom in the mid-10th century, before a new wave
of Viking raids led to the Danish conquest of England in 1016.
Fifty years later a Norwegian army sought to conquer England again,
under the leadership of the celebrated Viking warrior Harald
Hard-Counsel. His defeat at Stamford Bridge in 1066 is often seen
as the end of the Viking age in England. The two sides are seen as
very different in popular perceptions, but how much are these
differences based on fact, and how much on the bias of the
surviving contemporary accounts and later historical traditions?
And how far did the two sides learn from each other in the course
of 200 years of conflict? Drawing upon historical accounts from
both English and Scandinavian sources, and on archaeological
evidence, Gareth Williams presents a detailed comparison of the
weaponry, tactics, strategies and underlying military organization
of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, and considers the developments
which took place on both sides between the arrival of the Vikings'
'Great Raiding Army' in 865 and the battle of Stamford Bridge.
