The legendary Viking King, Eirik Bloodaxe: Heir to the Throne of Norway, murderer and warrior king who established reigns of power in both Norway and England.
Based on his research into available sources, Gareth Williams, formerly Curator of Early Medieval Coinage at the British Museum and an expert on the Viking Age, has managed to extract a realistic image of the man and his times. He gives us a fascinating look at the relations and power struggles between the Norwegian and Anglo-Saxon dynasties in the 10th Century, as well as the infamous Queen Gunnhild.
Gareth, a true expert, has also published the first ever biography written about this fascinating man.
