1st printing. Written by Rene Chartrand, Keith Durham, Mark Harrison, and Ian Heath. Forward by Magnus Magnusson. 'What a tapestry this book presents! What a splendid pageant of history and story!' Magnus MagnussonThe history of the Vikings is bloody and eventful, and Viking warriors capture the popular imagination to this day.

The authors provide a detailed examination of the Viking Hersir, the raiding warrior of the Viking world, and the famed Viking longship that transported the Vikings through treacherous waters to their bloody raids. This beautifully illustrated book includes new material about the Vikings in North America and the lives the Viking led at home. Softcover, 7 1/2-in x 9 1/2-in. 208 pages, Text (with Color and B&W photos) Cover price $18.95.

1st printing.
By Dan Jones.
The bestselling author of Crusaders and presenter of Netflixs Secrets of Great British Castles offers a vivid account of the events that inspired Game of Thrones and Shakespeares Henry IV and Richard III. Discover the real history behind The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses, the PBS Great Performance series of Shakespeares plays, starring Judi Dench, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sofie Okenedo and Hugh Bonneville.
The crown of England changed hands five times over the course of the fifteenth century, as two branches of the Plantagenet dynasty fought to the death for the right to rule. In this riveting follow-up to The Plantagenets, celebrated historian Dan Jones describes how the longest-reigning British royal family tore itself apart until it was finally replaced by the Tudors.
Some of the greatest heroes and villains of history were thrown together in these turbulent times, from Joan of Arc and Henry V, whose victory at Agincourt marked the high point of the medieval monarchy, to Richard III, who murdered his own nephews in a desperate bid to secure his stolen crown. This was a period when headstrong queens and consorts seized power and bent men to their will. With vivid descriptions of the battles of Towton and Bosworth, where the last Plantagenet king was slain, this dramatic narrative history revels in bedlam and intrigue. It also offers a long-overdue corrective to Tudor propaganda, dismantling their self-serving account of what they called the Wars of the Roses.
Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 416 pages, Text Only.
