A Comprehensive and Engaging Account of the History of Scandinavia

Being History Of Denmark Sweden And Norway is a comprehensive and engaging account of the history of these three Scandinavian countries. Written by a team of leading historians, the book provides a detailed overview of the political, social, and cultural development of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway from their earliest origins to the present day.

The book is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different period of Scandinavian history. The first part, "The Viking Age," begins with the earliest evidence of human habitation in Scandinavia and traces the development of the Viking culture through its golden age in the 9th and 10th centuries. The second part, "The Middle Ages," covers the period from the end of the Viking Age to the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. This period saw the rise of Christianity in Scandinavia, the establishment of feudalism, and the development of the Scandinavian kingdoms.
