Queen Emma and the Vikings

A stunning history of power, love and greed in 11th-century England - the remarkable story of Queen Emma and the Vikings A stunning history of power, love and greed in 11th-century England - the remarkable story of Queen Emma and the Vikings

Emma was one of England's most remarkable queens: a formidable woman who made her mark on a Europe beset by Vikings. She was a survivor: her life was punctuated by dramatic falls, all of which she overcame. Her story is one of power, politics, love, greed and scandal in an England caught between the Dark Ages and the Norman invasion of 1066.

'This is a lean and muscular narrative, often elegantly so ... She gives a potent reminder of how pivotal a role women could play even in such an ostensibly macho society - and of how contingent an entity England really is'
