"Ancient Germanic warriors played a decisive role in historical events from 200 BC, when Germanic culture first became identifiable, to AD 1000 when Christianity swept through the Nordic countries. Arising from beliefs and states of mind, a variety of warrior styles manifested themselves in differences of dress, weaponry, and fighting technique. Professor Speidel here details seventeen different Germanic warrior styles, and how they indicate an unbroken continuity of customs, beliefs, and battlefield tactics." "The book presents a range of evidence for these styles, from Roman art to early medieval bracteate amulets, and from classical texts to Beowulf, the Edda, and Icelandic sagas. Fully illustrated with over forty photographs, this survey adds a new dimension to our understanding of the history of Europe."--Jacket.
