| Publisher Description: University Press returns with another short and captivating portrait of one of history's most compelling figures, Ivar the Boneless. Ivar the Boneless was so frail that he could not even stand without somebody holding him up, and he had to be carried on a shield whenever he went into battle. Yet he went on to become one of the most feared Vikings in history. Ivar the Boneless led the Great Heathen Army on its conquest of England and ushered in an era of Viking domination over Britain that would last until long after his death. To the terrorized British, he was a pagan demon sent from hell. To the proud Vikings, he was a living god with supernatural powers. This short book tells the intensely human story of a man who changed the world in a way that no one else could. |
