Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Historical sources record a series of terrifying attacks by Viking marauders on the coasts of Britain, France and Ireland from the last decade of the 8th century. Wales also suffered raids, but to judge from the Welsh annals, its armies avoided yielding large tracts of land to the newcomers. This article outlines the historical context and looks at the archaeological evidence from North Wales, which seems broadly to confirm that the Vikings failed to colonise the country to any significant extent. However, it does suggest the existence of pockets of strong contact between the Welsh and Vikings of Dublin and the Isle of Man, with the adoption of some Viking fashions. Some of the isolated burials, finds and Norse funerary sculpture may even suggest occasional intermarriage and individual Viking settlement. It remains to be seen whether the same pattern holds for other parts of Wales. Au/LD | |||||||||
