Ælfred’s Britain Quotes

“More exotic still was Wulfstan's account of travels in the eastern Baltic and along the River Vistula; of a land of honey and plentiful fishing, of the habits of foreign kings and their burial rites and inheritance practices. In a time of war the Angelcynn were, at heart, still curious about the world beyond their shores.”
― Max Adams, Ælfred’s Britain: War and Peace in the Viking Age
