“Reissue of The Vikings in France. In this book, the Vikings are not reduced to the “Barbarians who invaded Normandy”. In reality, most parts of France were visited by the Vikings in the 9th century: Burgundy, Rhône Valley, Flanders, Brittany, Gascony… resulting in looting, ruins, deaths and a terrible psychological impact. But in Normandy, Scandinavian settlers raised the ruins and laid the foundations for a remarkable economic and political boom, showing that they were not just simple barbarians.”
