LAST VIKING: THE TRUE STORY OF KING HARALD HARDRADA (PB)

Harald Sigurdsson bursts into history as a teenaged youth in a Viking battle from which he escaped with little more than his life and a thirst for vengeance. But from these humble origins, he became one of Norway's legendary kings. The Last Viking is a fast-moving narrative account of the life of King Harald Hardrada and his journeys across the medieval world, from the frozen wastelands of the North to the glittering towers of Byzantium and the passions of the Holy Land, until his warrior death at Stamford Bridge in 1066.
