4.9/5 (22280 ratings)

Description:An in-depth look at the Viking settlers from Norway who arrived on the Wirral peninsula. 1100 years ago a group of Viking settlers from Norway arrived somewhere between Vestri-Kirkjubur (West Kirby) and Melr (Meols) on the shores of north Wirral - a small peninsula lying between the Rivers Dee and Mersey - having been driven out of Ireland. This initiated a mass migration of their fellow countrymen into the area and soon they had established a community with a clearly defined border, its own leader, its own language, a trading port, and at its center a place of assembly or government - the Thing at A ingvollr (Thingwall). This community was answerable to nobody the English, the Welsh, the Dublin Norse, the Isle of Man, Iceland, and not even Norway. The Wirral Norse settlement therefore satisfied all the criteria of an independent, self-governing Viking State - albeit a mini one!This book, written by Wirral-exile and scientist Steve Harding, is about these people, why they left Norway, where they settled, their religion, their pastimes - such as horse-racing at Irby and rock-climbing at Wallasey - and the legends that have been attributed to them - including the awesome Thor's Stone at 'Thorsteinn's farmstead'. Wirral was also probably witness to one of the greatest battles in the history of the British Isles - Brunanburh.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
