The Vikings are formidable warriors who conquered America long before Columbus and founded the Russian state. Their boats inspired fear in enemies not only in the northern seas, but also off the coast of Africa. In Europe they were called "Normans", in Ancient Rus' - "Varangians", in Arab countries - "Rus". A thousand years separate us from the "golden era" of the Vikings, and today their history is so bizarrely mixed with myths and legends that it is impossible to separate ... Were the Vikings wild, uneducated barbarians, destroyers? Or the keepers of a unique ancient culture and their own code of military honor? The work of the outstanding Swedish historian Anders Magnus Stringholm (1786-1862) "Viking Campaigns, Government, Manners and Customs of the Ancient Scandinavians" was published in 1835. In the future, he was repeatedly reprinted and continues to be one of the most authoritative studies on the history of the Vikings. The text of the book is based on a rare, first edition of Stringholm's book in Russian (1861, translated by A. Shemyakin).
