For this class, the required readings are from The Vikings and Their Age by Angus A. Somerville and R. Andrew McDonald. Please read the short Introduction (pp. xiii-xv) and the first chapter, 'The Viking Age: An Overview' (pp. 1-38).

The optional reading for this class is to read any section of the book The Viking World (ed. Stefan Brink and Neil Price) which interests you.

**Please note that my office hours this week will be on Friday, not Thursday, due to a scheduling conflict (still 3-5pm though!)

Here is the PowerPoint presentation from today's class.

Here is the map and chronology which I handed out in today's class. You can refer to these throughout the course, and add to them as you encounter new people, places, and events.

Here is the 'Case Study Exercise: The Wandering Monks of Saint Philibert', which we read and discussed in class, and here is 'The Tale of Audun from the West Fjords'. Please ensure that you have read Auðunn's Tale for Wednesday's class (don't worry - it's short!).
