Excerpt from The Normans in EuropeDuring the first, (800 circ. - 912) the people of Denmark, Sweden and Norway harassed Europe with their inroads, and formed definite settlements in the British Isles, Russia, and France.During the second, (1029 - 1066) France itself became the starting-place for a new series of incur sions, led by men of Scandinavian descent, who had by that time adopted French customs and language. To this period belong the settlements in Spain and Italy, and the Norman conquest of England.The aim of this book is to present a connected view of these incursions, and to bring clearly before the reader the important fact, that the Norman Con quest was only the last of this long series of settle ments and conquests.The narrow limits required by the character of the series have necessitated much compression.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
