“Featured in Chapter IV is their view of Valhalla, or “the hall of the slain,” and its influence on the future history of Europe by making these people of the North powerful and nearly unstoppable warriors.

Contemporary archaeologists unearthed a spectacular collection of Viking weapons, armor, wagons, and war-ships that were thoroughly documented and illustrated for Du Chaillu's original manuscript. We restored those images for this printing of the book and, in many cases, greatly enlarged them for modern readers to absorb every bit of detail.”

Volume 3 concludes the three-volume illustrated series about Viking history with a detailed look at their artistry, jewelry, woodworking, home life, expeditions, and Berserks.

Based on the nearly-destroyed, rare works of a 19th-century writer and archaeologist, History in the Age of Vikings Volume 3 includes profusely illustrated chapters on the dress of Viking men and women, jewelry making, and the intricate artistry of their furniture, halls, and buildings. Features:

More than 1600 contemporary illustrations spread across three volumes
Full-size 8 1/2″ x 11″ pages
Digitally restored and enhanced images
Enlarged pages and images with enhanced layouts

Volume 3 features several chapters about Viking expeditions and accomplishments, poetry, and the famed Berserks.

“We wonder if [Du Chaillu] saved his favorite stories for last because, in these pages (spread throughout no less than six chapters!), we learn about the Battles of Brávöll and Dúnheidi, Ragnar Lodbrok, King Halfdan, the first Jarls of Normandy, the Battle of Brunanburgh, King Svein, King Olaf, Knut, Harald Hardradi, and much more.

Chapter XVII, titled Champions and Berserks, is especially interesting and filled with the kinds of flair and drama that modern audiences might expect from the Vikings. “To be considered the foremost champion or Kappi was the greatest ambition of every warrior; and to attain this proud position was no easy task among so many men who were equally brave and perfectly reckless of their lives and thoroughly skilled in buy the handling of weapons.”

When within sight of their foe Berserks wrought themselves into such a state of frenzy that they bit their shields and rushed forward toward the attack, throwing away their arms of defense, reckless of every danger, sometimes having nothing but a club, which carried with it death and destruction.”

As with the previous volumes, we endeavored to restore this fascinating series for future generations to enjoy and educate. Images have been, where necessary, enlarged and cleaned up from the contemporary master print.”
