n Scandinavia in the Age of Vikings, Jón Viôar Sigurdsson returns to the Viking I homeland, Scandinavia, highlighting such key aspects of Viking life as power and politics, social and kinship networks, gifts and feast ing, religious beliefs, womens roles, social classes, and the Viking economy, which included farming, iron mining and metalworking, and trade. Drawing on the latest archeological research and on literary sources, namely the sagas, Sigurdsson depicts a complex and surprisingly peaceful soci ety that belies the popular image of Norsemen as bloodthirsty barbarians. Instead, Vikings often acted out power struggles symbolically, with local chieftains competing with each other through dis plays of wealth in the form of great feasts and gifts rather than arms. At home, conspicuous consump tion was a Viking leader s most important virtue; the brutality associated with them was largely wreaked abroad. Sigurdssons engaging history of the Vikings at home begins by highlighting political develop ments in the region, detailing how Danish kings assumed ascendency over the region and the ways in which Viking friendship reinforced regional peace. Scandinavia in the Age of Vikings then discusses the importance of religion, first pagan and (beginning around 1000 ad) Christianity; the central role that women played in politics and war; and how the enormous wealth brought back to Scandinavia affected the social fabric—shedding new light on Viking society.
