The Return of the Vikings: The Battle of Maldon 991 - Donald Scragg [epub] On 11 August 991 CE, a fleet of some 90 viking ships sailed into the estuary of the Blackwater river in Essex. Fresh from the ravage of Ipswich, under the command of a certain Olaf (possibly Olaf Tryggvason, King of Norway), they were intent no doubt on the rich spoils to be had from the royal Mint at Maldon. Facing them on the shore was Byrhtnoth, the second nobleman of the realm, with an army drawn from the households of the region. The ensuing fight was terrible in its ferocity. Byrhtnoth and many of his companions were slain, and eventually the vikings triumphed. Their victory marked the collapse of effective armed resistance to the Danes, and presaged the end of Anglo-Saxon England. Donald Scragg is Professor of Anglo-Saxon Studies at the University of Manchester. Paperback: 192 pages Publisher: Tempus (October 1, 2006)
