De la fin du VIIIe au début du Xe siècle, l'Europe fut bouleversée par les incursions des Vikings. Piraterie, pillages, déportations et cruautés en tous genres accompagnaient leurs déplacements, au point que les textes de l'époque n'hésitent pas à les compter parmi les cavaliers de l'Apocalypse. Réduire leur histoire à l'énumération de leurs méfaits ne peut cependant satisfaire ceux qui cherchent à comprendre comment, à partir des années 900, les Vikings s'insérèrent dans l'Europe chrétienne. Relisant les sources, Pierre Bauduin montre que la chronique des violences est aussi celle des entreprises menées alors de part et d'autre pour préparer l'accueil dans le monde franc de populations jusque-là périphériques qui, au gré de leurs dynamiques propres ou de leurs contacts avec l'Empire carolingien, étaient susceptibles de s'y faire une place. Emissaires, missionnaires, transfuges ou renégats côtoient d'autres intermédiaires qui, selon des modalités parfois inavouables, assurèrent la mise en contact des deux camps. Ainsi se renouvelle l'image d'une histoire, qui n'est pas seulement celle d'une agression, mais aussi, de manière plus profonde et durable, celle d'une prise de contact suivie d'une intégration réussie.

"Contrary to popular myth the Vikings had a reputation for neatness and their fashions were copied far beyond the realms of Scandinavia. Those who could afford to displayed a love of fine clothes made from silks, from lightweight worsteds in subtly woven twills, and from the finest of linens. They wore short hair and their beards were carefully trimmed." "This new book is the first to tackle the question of what the Vikings wore, drawing on evidence from art and archaeology, literature and linguistics to arrive at a fresh understanding of the nature of Viking clothing, covering rich and poor, men and women across Scandinavia. It includes an overview of Viking textiles and dyeing, and an exploration of cloth production and clothing in the context of Viking society as a whole, as well as a detailed consideration of both male and female outfits and a new interpretation of the suspended dress. It also brings new evidence to bear, suggesting that the Germanic and Viking pit house was primarily designed for textile production."--Jacket.
