FRENCH HISTORY A stimulating read for anyone interested in the Viking period and its aftermath, as well as medieval identity and ethnicity more specifically. [It is] highly relevant in today's political climate. MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY [A]n innovative, well-written, and researched book that opens up several lines of enquiry for future research. . . .
