This 5-ECTS course for PhD Fellows course aims to explore the ‘Viking phenomenon’ in every sense of the term. The primary (but non-exclusive) focus will be on the start of the so-called Viking Age: why and how did it begin, why then, and are we justified in making such a division of the distant past?

Between runes and manuscripts there were the Roman-alphabet inscriptions. This is the first comprehensive study of these inscriptions and the role they played in the Norwegian Viking and Middle Ages.
