Books – Genealogy
In my opinion, a person can’t have too many books. Before the internet, they were a necessity for the family researcher. Personally I rather have a book than almost any other media. This old woman highlights, underlines and writes in the margins. So this section of Mystery Ancestors will feature History & Genealogy books, e-books, kindle and whatever else I can find to help the family genealogist. You will find some of the collection free.
History and Genealogy Authors let me know if you would like your work included.
I hit this chart after searching only 5 generations. Everyone should have one of these charts. Looks awful here sorry. Everyone should have this chart.
About The Viking Wars: During Charlemagne’s ‘Holy’ wars of conquest, many of the age-old trade routes from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean had been closed, causing great discomfort to the people living in the countries bordering the Baltic Sea; many of whom had relied on the trade routes for their livelihood. After years of being unable to access the former trade routes this discontent boiled over into open hostility and after the death of Charlemagne many Northern kings and Jarls led armies to France and Germany to extract plunder there that they were unable to trade for in the Mediterranean: Later they were to travel to Spain as well as England, Scotland and Ireland.
This period of history would become known as the Early Viking Age. Denmark did not have enough men to invade France proper but likewise France, which was governed by a number of different ‘rulers’ who were often hostile to their king Charles II, was in turn unable to drive the Danes out completely. The raids, therefore, although often isolated from one another; could actually be seen as a concerted attempt by the Danish people to make the Franks pay for blocking their routes to the Mediterranean Sea.
These ‘raids’ by the Danish people were so widespread and so long-lasting that they could perhaps be better described as VIKING WARS.
