维京大军与英格兰的形成[有声读物]

当维京大军在公元865年至878年间横扫英格兰时，英国历史的进程永远改变了。不列颠群岛的人民已经习惯了对白银和囚犯的突袭，但随着北欧人度过了冬天，并沉浸在这个国家的中心，865 CE见证了一个根本性的转变。维京人的军队就在这里。这段英国历史的关键时期导致了社会结构的革命性变化，城镇和工业的发展，权力政治的转变，最终导致阿尔弗雷德大帝和威塞克斯崛起为盎格鲁-撒克逊英格兰的卓越王国。
盎格鲁-撒克逊和维京时代考古学专家道恩·哈德利（Dawn Hadley）和朱利安·理查兹（Julian Richards）利用了最新的科学技术和发掘，包括他们最近在托克西大军营地进行的研究。他们像侦探小说一样，一起揭开了大军在英格兰各地的行动，同时又以难以想象的细节拼凑了一幅维京人的新照片。哈德利和理查兹发掘了维京人制造的剑和珠宝，研究了他们埋葬伟大战士的方式，以及他们丢弃的日常物品。这些发现彻底改变了已知的军队规模、复杂性和社会构成。
The Viking Great Army and the Making of England [Audiobook]
When the Viking Great Army swept through England between 865 and 878 CE, the course of English history was forever changed. The people of the British Isles had become accustomed to raids for silver and prisoners, but 865 CE saw a fundamental shift as the Norsemen stayed through winter and became immersed in the heart of the nation. The Viking army was here to stay. This critical period for English history led to revolutionary changes in the fabric of society, creating the growth of towns and industry, transforming power politics, and ultimately leading to the rise of Alfred the Great and Wessex as the preeminent kingdom of Anglo-Saxon England.
Authors Dawn Hadley and Julian Richards, specialists in Anglo-Saxon and Viking Age archaeology, draw on the most up-to-date scientific techniques and excavations, including their recent research at the Great Army’s camp at Torksey. Together they unravel the movements of the Great Army across England like a detective story, while piecing together a new picture of the Vikings in unimaginable detail. Hadley and Richards unearth the swords and jewelry the Vikings manufactured, examine how they buried their great warriors, and which everyday objects they discarded. These discoveries revolutionized what is known of the size, complexity, and social makeup of the army.
