Viking Age History

One of the missions of Hurstwic is to educate the public on topics related to the Viking Age. Hurstwic members make themselves available to universities, schools, museums, and community groups for lectures and demonstrations (such as the museum demonstration shown to the right).

To help the public learn more about Viking age history, we include here links to factual articles written by Hurstwic members. The articles are updated regularly, and we hope to add more articles on a regular basis. A list of some of the references used to create these articles is here. In addition, we have created a short reading list of introductory texts on Viking age topics, for both children and adults.
