Mawer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the Viking movement, focusing on the raids and settlements conducted by Scandinavian peoples during the 9th and 10th centuries. It provides a comprehensive look into the causes and implications of Viking activities in various regions, particularly in England, Ireland, and the Frankish Empire. The opening of the book sets the stage by defining the term 'Viking,' explaining its etymology and narrowing its historical context. Mawer notes the Viking raids began in the late 8th century and discusses the various factors that contributed to these movements, including population pressures and shifting political landscapes in Scandinavia. He outlines the complex interactions between the Vikings and the cultures they encountered, establishing a nuanced understanding that goes beyond the simplistic view of them as mere raiders and emphasizes their significant influence on European history and society.
