I thought this was quite readable. Makes a sort of claim that the viking raids were initially the result of retaliation for Charlemagne's burning pagan centers in Germany but then became a quest for land and loot. Some skipping around in the chronology as he discusses various aspects of viking life and the impact the various claims that were made on Scandinavian thrones.
