More about the book

This fascinating book offers a glimpse into the world of medieval Scotland and Norway through the eyes of two legendary kings. Olave the Black of Man and Haco of Norway were both larger than life characters who played a significant role in the history of the British Isles. Thordr's anecdotes and Snorro's eulogies provide a unique window into their personalities and deeds, as well as the broader historical context of their reigns. Johnstone's translation and notes make this complex material accessible and engaging for modern readers.
