Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This chapter sets the scene with a brief description of the island before the arrival of the Vikings. This is followed by a detailed section on the Viking Age which includes information on Norse settlement. There are also sections on the position of Shetland within the Orkney political structure, subsequent severance from the earldom of Orkney, the establishment of administrative structures, and social, cultural and ecclesiastical links northwards. Changes in the later medieval period include the inclusion of Shetland under the Scottish crown. A final section considers the importance of fishing to Shetland in the post-medieval period. | |||||||||
