How does Campbell depict the Vikings? What was the state of England prior to their invasion? What was their impact on economic activity?

What made Alfred “the Great?” What contrast does Campbell draw between the sources of Offa and Alfred’s reigns? What made Alfred “the Great?”

Anglo-Saxon Chronicle first composed c. 890

How has historiography of the Vikings changed over the last 30 years or so? It depicts the Vikings in a more sympathetic light We now know that the Vikings were Christian before they arrived in England We now know that the Vikings brought written laws to England Beats me. I did not read the book.

What was the Danelaw? A Viking legal code A region in England ruled by Danes A brutal custom of human sacrifice A pagan ritual of demonstrating allegiance.

Guthrum’s Peace c. 886

Alfred the Great 871-899

How did the laws of Alfred the Great differ from the earlier laws by Aethelberht of Kent?
