Klappentext:
The Rhine, a major European thouroughfare even in the Middle Ages, provided the Vikings with a convenient inroad into the heart of power and wealth of the Carolingian empire.
This volume unites articles on many topics related to the relationship between the Vikings and the Rhineland: on ships and shipping as well as Charlemagne's maritime defence, historical background information on the socio-economical situation of the Rhineland at the time, but also archaeological data on the Viking hoards recentliy found in the Netherlands and the spectacular remains of a Viking attack on the imperial manor at Zutphen in Holland.
